HOA letter. WWYD???

[Anonymous]

Can you use a back door for this?

OP I've had a similar letter from the HOA for my no solicitation sign. I applied for a modification allowance, which allowed me to keep it up until they met to discuss it. It was allowed and also set the standards for what would be allowed for similar signs. Just apply, your neighbors aren't out to get you, they just want to be allowed to say no to crazy ideas.

OP, please post a photo or diagram. Please.

OP I'm so happy you and your DH found each other. You sound genuinely like a good match.

Your structure, as much as you like it, is exactly why HOAs exist.

Just after the store.
We can’t use our garage for this— it’s full of stuff from a hobby we do— and I’m not putting plastic sheeting in my foyer. This is the solution that works best for my family. I really DGAF if our neighbors see our nude silhouettes.

OP, please, I beg of you...I have to know what your hobby is.

You probably haven’t heard of it— it’s live action role play. We build and store the costumes in our garage.

This is the best thread I have come across in a long time.

Why can't you construct this in your foyer or in back of your house?

That’s exactly what I will do. Thank you for the advice!

There's no LARPing right now, move that stuff out of the way for your containment chamber

You two were made for each other. Do you have kids you subject to this chit?

Hi OP,

Generally when you get a letter from an HOA it is best to respond with a letter. I'd respond to something to the effect that you and your husband work essential jobs that cause you to have risk of covid exposure and that you built the decontamination chamber due to the world wide pandemic.
I'd tell them you will remove the decontamination chamber in about 8 weeks when the risk goes down and return the front of your house to how it was.

Something like this. In my HOA if we don't send a letter we start getting fines.

Did the HOA letter mention visible nudity?

I'm the biggest opponent of HOAs ever, but even I understand why a neighborhood would want to set some limits on the amount of plastic sheeting homeowners can put on display.

Not to mention their naked silhouettes.
