I wish it could work the other way around and city people would keep their city stuff in the city. But nooo, they move to NH to be in the 'country', and then bring all their city stuff, and ideas with them, and make it the hell they just left. Why is that?
Gun, yer right it is eatting the country up.
A city dwellin dentist moves to the last place on a road and wants plowing, wants his kids in a different school, and buses to take them there, a long way away.
Rules on what can and can not be had out behind the barn.
City people who buy a 1/4 acre lot next to a 160 acre Kings grant and complain about the shooting.
City people who insist on posting every last square inch of their land, most often that 1/4 acre lot.
City people who will insist on per test laws and then go chit on another guys land with no clue How To cleanly........... That one was last week right here. I saw a new blue truck and no one here has anything new. The next day i saw white behind where the truck was, and that little surprise wasn't good, since the dogs were deep in investigations. ewww...
Guess I have no grounds since I am the one who took down the Keep Out signs myself, but if i ever see that truck again, somebody is gonna get a lecture about How To chit in th woods!
more??
City dwellers buy up condos in the middle of a centuries old deer yard and wonder why their bushes get chomped each winter. These same city dwellers don't want any deer killed, by hunters, but some how justify Govt hunters killing these same deer as if a Govt hunter is some how a better hunter or something. I have never been able to get that figured out.
Everywhere 80+ acres are getting to be big box stores and big parking lots, nothing different than anywhere where else. I can buy the same cotton tea shirts in NH as you can in Alabama, but it's a lot colder here than in Alabama. It's like all the USA is so smalll only one kind of clothing is needed.
Some months ago someone posted about a HOA, and i had to look it up on google.
Once i did work at a communist condo in Maryland. I built French raised bed gardens, a fence and a garden shed, and it all had to be by rules like a HOA has, but the owner there never mentioned the words for the meaning of HOA.
The rules were nutty, but because no one could have better or worse than their neighbors.
It wasn't easy either, since the fences had to be 6'6" and no shed could be taller than that on the roof side. The fence was stagger board and stagger board only.
I got clever and rather than build that fence and a shed with in the fence I made trhe out side of that fence stagger board, but put in a board between boards on the inside, which were 2 walls of the shed with no wasted space, or places for city debris to collect, that every single other shed there had.
Making it appear from the outside to meet the rules, but from the inside a solid wall for a garden shed. Another probklem was no fasteners could be on the buildings for the fence or sheds, but could for wires. Odd.
The shed could touch the building though, so I made dove tail joints to lock certain key parts.
I got in trouble over the gate. I made a tombstone gate with a weeping heart cut out of the same boards the fence and shed were made of (pressure treated) I hand forged a katch too. I made a big acorn facia for the katch lever outside as well, and got BUSTED for this being too nice of all things.
Everyone almost liked it, and the rules were changed for the gate alone, but it was hell for me for awhile.
It's no wonder cheating goes on is such places. If i lived in one i wouldn't know which wife was mine either
