One thing to remember when you move into an HOA development...beside a 'Rainy Day' fund, you'll also need to set aside money in a 'Lawyer Fund' for the eventual legal issues with the HOA because there will be issues trust me.
I love the goat idea. Also, chickens are excellent at getting rid of bugs so that you won’t have them in your house. Especially centipedes. Chickens consider them snacks. She should really think again.
Some of my family kept Goats & used them on they're lawn. One of them we took for walks with us along with four Irish Wolfhounds. Many people looked at us askance but we loved them &, nobody ever messed with us kids. (pun intended) lol
I take care of about 75 goats on a farm. I am a part time goat sitter 😆. I love it! When the goat owner goes to shows I stay with the others. It's hard word but I love them! Most are sweet hearts, a few are butt heads but only because they are bossy. I would love to bring a couple home to mow my own yard! 😁💜✌
@@crimsonfirelily Lovely to hear from someone who knows those wonderful animals so well. Butt heads lol. I send you my best regards & much love to the goats!
That's what you call weaponized incompetence at the X-Games level. And some extra special toxic feminism for calling out not conforming to her demanded gender role for him.
1st story: As someone who is allergic to grass, I can assure you that you're not the only one in the world who doesn't like the smell of fresh cut grass. I still mow my lawn but I feel awful for the rest of the day afterwards.
That last story: talk to your Title Insurance company. Charges that were from before your ourchase and weren't dusclised in escrow are their department. The title or escrow company should be the ones to reach out to the previous owners.
That’s what brings the scammers to the store. “This $20 item was on the $5 shelf” mangler “take it at $5” customer lays 10 on the belt.. Corporate, comes down like a ton of bricks. Mangler, throws cashier under the bus
We used a goat once. We have a three acre wooded lot with a fence along the west edge of the property. The woods was over grown and loaded with poison ivy, the fence was completely overgrown with it. It was going to be terrible cleaning it all out. So one spring we went to the local livestock auction. (Yes it's a thing in rural communities.) and bought a goat for $70. We tied it to a concrete block and every day we would go out and move that goat and concrete block to a new area. Did you know that goats LOVE poison ivy? By that fall all the undergrowth and ALL of the poison ivy was gone. Then we loaded up that goat, took him back to livestock auction, and sold him for $70. It's been over 10 years and the poison ivy has never come back. If it does, we'll go buy another goat.
Most HOAs in the US operate in violation of the law anyway. People read and argue the rules all day. What really matters in the US is the declaration, which nobody reads. My first HOA had as the first clause in the declaration that only people of the Caucasian race could live there. Blatantly unconstitutional. Got a lawyer, filed paperwork, HOA dissolved. The new HOA tried to force people to sign up. Didn’t go well. When an HOA is dissolved in the US, no one has to join if a new one is formed. They must be EXPLICITLY told that they don’t have to join. I sold for a good price two years later. My second HOA had 14 clauses in the declaration, 10 of them unconstitutional. Got the same lawyer, went to court, HOA dissolved. In both cases, the HOA boards and their lawyers had never read their declaration. Most developers put unconstitutional things in the declaration to keep homeowners in line until the last house is sold. After that, the don’t care what happens to the HOA. My friend is the president of his HOA. I pointed out all the unconstitutional things in the declaration. He said, “so, what? Nobody will know and nobody will care.” That is the attitude of most boards and officers. It just takes a little time and a little money to get rid of an HOA.
The wife who is pissed about the goat-tell her to get her butt out there and mow the yard herself. If she looses the mower in the pond or something-SHE has to pay to replace it.
Goat story reminds me of my Uncle Pete. He lived in a at-the-time sparsely populated suburb of New Orleans. He had a huge 1 acre lot he bought when he built his house right after WW2. He got the bright idea to put in two sheep to eat the grass--no more mowing. My aunt pulled her car inside the fence after a grocery trip. She left the rear car door open while she put the groceries away. She went out to close the door and the sheep were inside eating the mohair headliner and seat covers out of her brand-new '51 Mercury. The sheep went to a farmer that night. 5-year-old me learned new words when she showed us the interior before it was fixed.
Story 2 - I worked with one employer that did similar to story 2, and had to quietly reverse it thinking everyone would forget. Especially about how they enforced the new decision, which violated state labor laws, and lead to 2 large quitting events (20 people in 1 day) and a few lawsuits. They can't hire competent people 10 yrs later because of their reputation.
It sounds like ops wife is becoming a hoa karen , op should say “ i should have married the got, it wouldn’t be as nagging as you “ if she cares more about her image op couple post on the site what his wife is like and tell her “ oh its the goose i rented “
About the goat, I worked for a business that overlooked a some properties on one corner it spilt the properties one side was city the other side was county You can have farm animals and the city you can't. The city wanted to get rid of the goat so they sent cops to get the arrest the goat . Well it didn't go well the cops wanted to kill the goat the owner called county they arrive and tell the city cops to leave . City cops said the they where going to eliminate that goat the sheriff. Called backup and arrested the police impound their car . And painted line down the street and wrote county on one side . Which thecity had to pay for plus all the finds their cops got like towing court , storage cost .
Goats are great. We had dairy goats as kids. I loved those goats. Neat creatures, even their number 2 is in pellet form and great to use as fertilizer. They are also cute animals.
I would have made a bet with the owner telling him if this doesn't work within the first week like there's no significant increase in profits. Then his ass needs to pay me this amount for a bonus and if he doesn't do it then take him to court, have it in writing.
Lawn goat: The “man” OP’s wife wants might well have slapped her off her feet had she behaved to him the way she behaved to OP. Doesn’t seem happy with OP and wouldn’t be likely to be happy with what she is berating OP about wanting.
Goat 'mowing' the lawn...perfect solutions. It's quiet, efficient, and environmentally friendly. As long as the goats poo is cleaned up, I think it's and awesome solution to a thankless, never-ending job.
Last story; "Yeah, there was this damage done in 1920 to the house thtat stood previously on this property. Of course now YOU have to pay up for it. The total is 1,234,500$, thank you!"
First story, sounds like the wife us overly concerned with appearances. If she owns it and tells her "friends" we are doing our part to reduce carbon emissions. Goats are a natural way to handle the issue without gasoline and emissions, they leave manure to feed the lawn and besides, they are darn cute!" Suddenly, I'm betting more people would be using gifts in the neighborhood.
first story: just tell her, that the goat can stay in the sleeping room. when she mentiones, that there will be a certain smell, just tell her: oh, the goat will get used to it ;-)
1.. We lived near the edge of town and my sister had a horse stabled at a farm in walking distance. Of course the horse got ridden to the house regularly. One day, mom rode the horse to the store and was asked why she rode the horse. She replied: "I need a new broom." And, she bought a broom... Neighbors fought over who could get the horse droppings... seems they're good fertilizer for roses.
That goat story? First OP, tell your wife that goat stands for greatest if all time!😂! Second, here in Wisconsin, the power companies rent goats to keep the grass (read weeds) down around all their high power towers! The owner brings in about 30 - 40 goats. Puts up a temporary fence to hold them in, moving it as they work, and takes them back to the barn every night. Two guys, one truck as opposed to multiple trucks and trailers with extra large grass cutting tractors. Plus fuel, man power, maintenance, and insurance!
While using a goat is unusual it's not unheard of. I've heard of people doing similar things with sheep, as Red mentioned, or rabbits (put the rabbits in a movable cage, change the position every few hours). There's a similar practice known as chicken tractors, where homesteaders will deliberately allow their hens to scratch up an area that they plan to plant later. This also has the advantage of adding free, errr manure while feeding your birds fresh greens and bugs. The thing is that some people are still stuck in the 20th century image of white picket fences and the husband mowing the lawn on a Saturday.
Fun fact about goats. When most animals eat grass/weeds, their stomachs will let the weed seeds pass through. Not goats though. They can eat strictly weeds/unwanted plants and the seeds are destroyed in their stomachs
The first story was funny. The second story was another case of greed biting the company in the but big time. The lunatic in the third story should have been thrown out and banned. The h o a aka horrible obnoxious a holes in the last story should have to pay the legal fees of the home owners. They made the mistake and luckily were not able to pass the buck especially to people that didn't have the property when the damage occured.
Although I see nothing wrong with using the goat to maintain the lawn, it obviously upsets the wife. OP has the option of an electric mower. They don’t make the noise he dislikes. He could even look for a neighbor kid to use it for him.
But his widdle shoulder hurts! Since high school, and he never did anything about it. And yeah, get an electric mower and pay a local kid, and the whole thing goes away. But simple solutions and foresight aren't part of their natures.
like the goat story but not likely to be real one goat eat about 5lbs pr day and not in a systematik way wich means you will likely have patches of tall grass in some places and very low grass in others
OK, if two adults are totally incapable of mowing a modest sized suburban lawn because one is so incompetent she can't mow on the land, but has to hit the lake, and the other can't stand the smell of cut grass, why the ever-loving Heck did they buy the house? No problem with the goat, but they should have either paid someone, or had one damn brain cell between the two of them, and figured out a better plan long before this incident. And yeah, the wife is acting rather badly here.
Story 1. yeah I'm not so sure why the dude's wife is made. who cares what other people think? her...apparently. I mean hell..I'd love to do that. front and back. story 2. well done. 3. yeah customers will do that. move product but generally when they do it, it's ONE product. when there's 2-4 of them in the wrong spot..THAT is store fuck up and they should be made to pay for it. I got ice tea maker cheap that way. took video of the shelf too.
Last story this is for anybody who win their HOA or whoever sends them a bill and they just pay it cuz they're morons don't be a moron! Check and see what the hell you actually have to pay because most times it's just someone trying to avoid they're having to pay it and trying to let the ship rolled downhill as it were do not get scammed do not be a fool and please for the love of God grow a spine and don't be a doormat I am so happy that the homeowner in The Last Story had a spine and wasn't non-confrontational and just paid it because my God that just infuriates me when people do crap like that.
Where can I get a chicken who cleans windows? My wife wants one. That guy should ask his friend if he has any sheep. His wife might think they are cute.

What abt the gases goats, cows, other farm animals the enviro wackos say pollute the air?
She can always HIRE one of the neighbours kids to cut the grass if she doesn’t like the goat. That’s about all she will afford for the same price 😂

Story #1 - WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER!! 🐐👍🏻🤘🏻🍻
There are battery operated mowers. Even mowers with just blades that turn with no gas. You use your own horse power.

Was there an actual story here? It had a beginning and somewhat of a middle, but no end.
Only r's buy into hoas and condos.

Managers fold to customers because they don’t bad PR
