Do what you want as long as you follow any HOA rules, if they exist. If you don't like the rules then attempt to change them to fit your desires. I have no problem people doing what they want as long as it's within any rules that might exist.

You can store all of the things you mentioned in a NEAT manner, build shelves and cabinets.

A place for everything, and everything in it's place.

Next time I'm in your area I'll stop by and give you some suggestions, we'll clean that place up and you wife will love you again...
Not only will I take your suggestions, I will give you carte blanche to build and install the shelves and cabinets.......I won't even take a peek until you are done.....while you are at it, you can do my basement and storage building out back too!

When can you be here? No worries, I will provide heaters for you!

Your reaction absurd. Get over it. Find someone else to harass over nothing. Seriously, how empty is your life that you do such a thing?
You don't get to tell anyone what they are "too excited" about while you inventory your neighbors' cars and garage contents. How empty is that?

My garage is huge, but the door is too low, so it's a space to leave stuff and maybe play tiddlywinks.

Covered parking is more important where there is frequent large hail.

LMAO! You really, really need to find something to fill your time. Your whiny postings have now reached the ridiculous. Do you do anything other than create picayune posts on the Internet? Does it make you feel better about yourself to rag and rag and rag on something so inconsequential as the mention of the brand of a car?

Good Lord what a wasted life.

Apparently you don't have anything better to do in life. I figure your garage is full of crap and you park your only car in front of the neighbors house. See that is the same stupid logic you use to complain about other people.

Go ahead and whine some more. I've had enough of your holier-than-thou. I'm done with your silliness.

It's actually a conversion van and it's not in front of the neighbor's house, it's on ramps on my front lawn until I can finish replacing the driveshaft. It's only been there since Christmas eve but I did put lights on it and an inflatable snowman. Add that to your inventory, Pops.

There have always been nosy people with so much time on their hands that spy on everyone in the neighborhood. They just keep from complaining about how others in the neighborhood are living their lives.

What they need to do, is get a hobby, so they don't have time to spy on neighbors to see.

I know of one retired woman in St George Utah, who could not wander around very large senior citizen track of homes, fast enough to meet her goals. Her husband bought her a motor scooter, so she could do the entire tract of homes twice a day. Her goal was to find who in the neighborhood, had broken some rule so she could report them to the board.

I had a sister in law in Phoenix AZ area, living in a very expensive home with a HOA. Their home backed onto a Canal. Some one of these neighborhood spies had taken a boat and went along the canal that was the one boundary for the home tract looking for violations. Spotted a bird feeder under their patio cover that was slightly different than the allowed color for feeders, and they were told to remove it or paint it the approved colors. Not seen from any of the housing track, and illegal to use a boat in the irrigation canal, but someone like the OP who watches what neighbors do, took a small boat down the canal to find any problem they could report to get people in trouble.

Sounds like a plan! Can you suggest an area where I can get 20-30 acres of land, an old house with outbuildings, a very mild winter (compared to the northeast) for under 200K? My vision of CA is expensive but I'm sure there are reasonable places somewhere and I'm looking to move.... (no HOA)
