Sheds are not redneck. Where are you supposed to keep your lawn mower, power tools, etc? You might not have room for them in the garage. If someone accused me of being a redneck because the house I bought had a shed in the yard, I would tell them to take their busybody nose out of my business and plant a hedge if they don't want to see the shed.

Looks trashy... I know it's not allowed in my area and I totally support that. it's pretty new area and a little hilly, not much but by Texas Standards it is and we don't really have many fences except wrought iron ones on the back end. It's pretty open, so no I would not want to see some crappy shed in a backyard when I am looking out my window.

Your garage look like something from sanford and son because everyone I know including us are able to store 2 lawnmowers, garden tools hanging from the wall plus misc holiday items and pool equipment.

Wow. What a snob.

My garage is neatly organized and has room for 2 cars.

The shed was here when I bought the house. It is not corrugated metal or something you could buy at Wal-Mart. It has electricity and its own pier and beam foundation. It is probably built better than your house.

Don't go judging anyone there. Some "crappy" shed huh. Ugh, I am glad you do not live in my neighborhood. Then again, we do not hae an HOA so your head would probably explode.

I've got a 3-car garage w/ 3 cars in it and barely squeeze a lawn mower into it. Then again the ORANIZED shelves all along one side take up a lot of room. One neighbor from California had borrowed our lawn mower when they first moved in. When he came to bring it back one afternoon hubby told him to just keep using it as he would have to move a car out to get it in. We don't mow our own yard anyway. When they had to move he returned it. They were super sweet . We could not fit all 5 bicycles in the garage either along w/ the kids scooters and everything else if we kept 3 cars in it. Now we have the other garage and plenty of room........ for now till I add 2 more cars to the mix in another year And my garages look NOTHING like "Sanford and Son", lol.

That list gives me a headache. Do they specifically name Gerber Daisies as a flower they can't plant?
Does Lantana allow lantana? LOL. Those take up quite a bit of bedding space, maybe too much for what is allotted!
Yes, dude or dudette, that's how they are.

By the way, how would you feel if your neighbors thought something important to you was ugly and told you you could not have it on property you rightfully own? Not too good, I'd imagine.
very funny

my thoughts exactly

I agree. Personally, I don't care what my neighbors are up to.

If anything unacceptable is going on in the neighborhood I'll walk over to my neighbor and discuss it face to face.

But the fines, warning letters, taking pictures of peoples' lawns, etc, is petty, cowardly, and rude.
