OK, sorry. I think I have the wrong idea about your HOA. I imagine a group of detached dwellings in a loose neighbourhood with nosey fucks on the board deciding what you can and can't do on your property.

I see you are in a communal apartment situation with common areas and shared spaces. In Australia we have professional 3rd party strata managers who handle all that stuff.

And again, those contractors are pathetic.

Foreman said they’d be here over an hour ago to move it back onto the roof, but of course no sign of anyone yet.

that looks like a wiley coyote trap.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.
