Neighbors and Pool Installation (LONG)

[Spensar]

Weel, the neighbours didn't vote for the guys who won't let you bury the tank, so it MUST be your fault!!!! What a pain, I would prefer to have a tank buried myself but if you can't do it, you can't do it.

DaveD has a good perspective though. Make them be the unreasonable ones and they won't have any sympathy from anyone.

The HOA let you install the pool without approving the fence first?

The HOA understands that a fence is going to be required when putting in a pool, however, tehy feel tehy have the final say as to how the fence should look - another reason I absolutely can NOT stand living in cookie cutter subdivisions, they slowly kill your individuality!
Move to the country - the air is fresher, the people are happier, your neighbour will HELP you instead of fight you and if you do end up with a big RUT in your lawn, he'll only join you on his dirtbike to help make it even BIGGER!

If I could afford the big house, the pool, on the land I want - that's where I would be. Unfortunately - I took the big house and a pool over a small house/no pool/ and a large yard to mow

Wasn't planning on the fence until the neighbors started getting all upset - now we think it's the best. We got the pool approved by the HOA in November - we closed on our home in December (it was new construction), sold our old house in May and then started construction on the pool. Figured out in July we needed the fence.
