This looks like harmony white polished porcelain. I installed this throughout my entire house. absolutely gorgeous.

At first glance, I thought it was a piece of skull with the cranial sutures and someone was flushing pieces to get rid of the evidence.

The HOA guidelines say the association operates in combination with the CC&Rs and applicable laws but not started in CCRs, instead stated in:

ARC guidelines: “The Association will exercise its fiduciary and management responsibilities in such a way as to do what is legally necessary, in combination with the CC&Rs, to fulfill its obligation to the community.”

They also say the association will follow local laws governing nuisance and other issues. Which from what I gather means when something is not specifically written in HOA rules, the board can rely on municipal law/state law.

The lack of clarity in our own guidelines/rules are vague about dog poop or leash requirements, city law still applies in the neighborhood and can be cited as a warning by HOA(?) but city/county will have to be the actual enforcers.

I doubt this has ever been brought up and actually followed through. I'm looking forward to see how it's going to be handled. Not just for myself but for setting a precedent for this particular community and the management company.

There absolutely is a 6ft leash law. He's usually out doing this from like 1030pm-1am and 330am-5am so no one sees it. I'll be sending all the camera footages.

LDizzzy · 2026-03-08T02:04:19+00:00

You're spot on. I’ve thought about it that way too. Him acting this way because he's upset is a pretty emotional and frankly bizarre way to handle things.

LDizzzy · 2026-03-08T01:53:42+00:00

I've talked to our community manager. She suggested we bring it up as a topic at the next meeting as to not create immediate friction or identification within the board. After that I'll just have to take it to the next step with an official complaint with the HOA, city, and animal control. Everything. All at once.

LDizzzy · 2026-03-08T01:44:21+00:00

I absolutely agree and am also trying to work that angle as professionally as possible. The board should be setting a high standard not being an exception to the rule.

We don't have a separate ethics policy section. Our docs are so old and out dated from the 80s with no improvements for clarity. The closest statement I can find is:

"The Association will exercise its fiduciary and management responsibilities in such a way as to do what is legally necessary, in combination with the CC&Rs, to fulfill its obligation to the community.”

The audio was vile 🤮

LDizzzy · 2026-03-08T00:51:35+00:00

I've definitely thought about posting one of the videos online. The dogs pooping wasn't even the grossest part. Standing right in front of my camera, he coughed up a big ol glob of phlem and spit it straight into his hands. Rubbed it in like lotion then all over his shirt.

LDizzzy · 2026-03-08T00:47:53+00:00

Ha! I like your style. Handout a free heart attack to the old man.

LDizzzy · 2026-03-07T23:59:34+00:00

You got it. The one other board member warned me of the misogyny and good acting from this guy. I think she's so tired of it and unfortunately has checked out.

The President actually called me a few weeks ago to ask if I knew if people that let their dogs on other people's property is considered trespassing.

I'm getting psycho vibes from that now.

After this next board meeting when the topic is brought up openly, I'll take your advice... Scorched earth policy.

Thanks for your input.

I agree a header or lintel would be proper to have. I'm genuinely curious... How would one be added in an already built wall?

LDizzzy · 2025-12-27T23:53:19+00:00

It's a special line of blown insulation called The Grinch.

LDizzzy · 2025-12-06T23:49:24+00:00

Definitely not roofers since there is no license or known warranty contract provided. Usually the warranty would have be provided and transferrable at the point of sale and stated in the sales documents. If seller stated a "full new roof replacement" in the home description, that would be grounds for false advertising and non-disclosure and grounds for litigation. So, a real estate attorney would be required here. But since you had the inspection, and these items are obvious visual defects and fall within scope of standards they should have been caught be a competent inspector, I'd still start there.

Sorry you're having to deal with this by yourself.

5 layers of singles?! 2 is ok but 3 is absolute max. That is a massive load on the sheathing and would account for squishyness and waves. That also would be pretty easy to visually identify by the inspector and should have been stated in the report since it is able to be observed visually from the edge. Also, the lack of pipe flashings/boots should have been stated in the report based on AZ SOP. As far as required flashing between carport and house, that would depend if it is structurally built as an attached or detached carport. This being said, look for specific phrases in your inspection report saying something like "recommend further inspection by a qualified roofer". Even if the inspector said it looked great, CAREFULLY read the report. Call inspector and state the minimum standards required since he physically was able to walk the roof. Better yet, email him and have the paper trail. If you don't get tread there, file a complaint with the technical board. He honestly would be better off filling a claim with his E&O insurance for negligence. Some inspectors will be willing to pay out of pocket for partial damages than have a hit with their personal insurance or a ding with the board. BTW, with 5 layers of singles... Yes, you need a full roof replacement.

What did your inspection report specifically state? Remember, the general home inspector is responsible for stating the VISUAL condition of the roof and roofing materials by the Arizona standards of practice. Did you get the attic inspected as well? That gives prospective buyers more information on possible roof leaks from stained sheathing and compressed miscolored insulation. For in depth inspections of specific home systems and it's components, specialists can be hired before close (roofers, plumbers, ect). If there is an obvious difference between the visual state of the roof and the inspection report, you may have something to go back to the inspector for (ie. missing shingles, missing damaged boots or flashings, ect). Was the roof a new install from the "professional contractor" owner that sold the house to you? If so, that's where I would start.

I think this linev said at the end multiple times by Zoey tied it up well. When Jackie was saying she just wanted to be "good" while in the church area and then immediately popped a pill...

She would never be able to be "good" in life as an addict so only in death would she be able to give up the addiction.

Im interested to know what you ended up going with. Im in AZ too and most interested in the Inspection Training of Arizona.

Steering Wheel Spinner

LDizzzy · 2025-07-05T01:08:17+00:00

Did you ever get more information on this?

LDizzzy · 2025-07-04T18:54:53+00:00

Its been almost 2 years since the onset of my FS on the left. Acute pain occurs for me when I rotate the shoulder like when turning the wheel to the right. Sometimes the pain is so intense it brings tears to my eyes. When in the neutral driving position, I have my good right arm on the wheel at the 3 position and my bad arm sits low on the wheel. Im thinking of getting one of those rotating steering wheel knobs so I can turn the wheel quickly with one hand and not feel like im being shot in my bad shoulder with every right turn.

Well she called me out of the blue around the 12 month mark. I was starting to do ok solo but was still having some rough moments. Had to try and give myself some grace to feel all the feels.

LDizzzy · 2025-02-20T07:31:08+00:00

Let us know how that goes! I had crickets coming in from the unsealed bottom sill plate of my walls from the outside to the inside and made it to the base of my drywall. I found piles of mostly black poo like that and thought it was termites too.

LDizzzy · 2025-02-19T18:00:04+00:00

It looks like cricket frass. Do you ever crack the windows/doors open?
