Default Ever use your tractor for revenge?

I'm part of a small HOA (15 lots) where one lot is owned by the guy who built the sub-division. This guy gave himself 6 votes as compared to everybody else's 1 vote. If he had done it legally, in a real meeting, there wouldn't be a problem.

But I'm not out for revenge on the builder. I'm out for revenge on one of the other owners that said they would pitch in for lawyer fees when we ("we" being the owners other than the builder) investigated the builder. Then after the secret meeting discussing what the lawyer found out, this ONE owner decided they didn't want to pitch in and left me to pick up their share of the bill.

Last year I was hired by the HOA to use my tractor to plow the road (1/2 mile or so). Being a nice guy, I cleared out the end of each drive way and if there were large drifts I'd get them too. So this year, everybody but ONE will get their drive way cleared. Too bad too, because that ONE is the longest drive with the tallest drifts. And I KNOW they don't have a snow blower. I'll be sure to smile and wave on my way past too.

Not my tractor, but when I had a plow on my truck I've had to make some snowbanks so someone's car couldn't possibly be driven away (without about three days worth of shoveling).

This is just a good example of why I would never want to live with a HOA.

Life is too short to worry about revenge. I do use my tractor to save time and my back however.

I call our worthless HOA the HOASS. The only good HOASS is no HOASS.

Default Re: Ever use your tractor for revenge?

If you live in the country there are no HOA's. My tractor hasn't been ready for a the little winter we get. Maybe this year. I would love the opportunity to help my neighbors clear their drives when we do get snow. I have weighted tires now and FEL. May not be the most efficient but should get the job done.

Can somebody explain to me what a HOA is? Probably some sort of Homeowner association but why would one exist?
