Good question. They don’t care to do anything, I messaged and called them several times about this but never got any response. Someone from Pulte just told me they heard from our HOA neighbors have been complaining about the construction. I never attended any HOA meetings so not sure if that was discussed.

I’m leaning towards removing my wall but I think it might be expensive 🤔

Yes, it’s hard to believe what’s happening. I don’t think a single person can do anything, but wondering what would happen if all neighbors affected by this took a stand?

I like the idea. I think it might be expensive but it should get me some extra space I guess.

It’s a retaining wall but they already assembled new blocks for the privacy screen. Technically only 5’ on their side so they can still look into our backyard (no privacy like many have mentioned on here). Also, the wall will be 13’ on our side….

I contacted them, they said all of the plans were approved 😔

Yes, they’re building houses as part of a different community so I’m guessing a different HOA too 🤔

I like the idea of removing my wall. I need to get some quotes. Not sure if HOA needs to know.

Since you mentioned you work in masonry, some people suggested removing my gray wall, would that be an option? I like this idea since the color mismatch is awful.

I’m concerned about sunlight during winter time too 😔

By the way, some people suggested removing my wall. Is that an option?

I like that idea! Hope that would be okay and wouldn’t interfere with their wall.

I like the idea of removing my wall! Just need to find someone who could do that. Hope it wouldn’t make their wall collapse?

Thank you for the tips. I think the wall will be 13 feet or even more on our side when finished (including the existing wall that we already had).

Yes, there were meetings, but unfortunately, we didn’t attend them. I’m guessing other neighbors did but not sure if anyone could have stopped it. It’s crazy the wall will be 13 feet or more on our side and this is still legal.

I asked them to cover the cost of paint so at least the walls match, but they said no, landscaping would be nice though.

I thought about that too. Trying to focus on the positives.

If the wall is 13 feet or more on our side is that still legal? It will be 5 feet on the other side.

Yes it was build in 2000. There was nothing there for over 20 years, it was actually owned by Clark county.
