OK, what is a CCR.  First google listing came up as Credence Clearwater Revival,,,,,,,,,,,pretty sure that isn't what you meant


Then I found this list of over 100 choices  https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/CCR

Phil -- I think the term references a set of community bylaws; which are often referred to as Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs)

I lived in a duplex in a development with a HOA controlled by a bunch of stay at home mommies and nosy old women. Needles to say I was not there favorite resident after I told the president of the HOA to go smoke a turd in hell

Thanks GF, that makes sense.

Highland,,,,,,,,,,,,smoke a turd in hell???   That's funny


They really should have an assessment test for folks who are thinking of buying into a neighborhood with a HOA as to whether they would fit or not.  I am sure I would fail

I failed two houses ago... that's why we bought this house in this neighborhood; NO DAMN HOA!!!!

Highland is right! My former HOA was controlled by a mob of middle aged, self important, Femi-Nazi busybodies, that made it their business to stick their noses into everyone else's business. I caught one of these miscreants climbing over my fence to snoop in our yard and shed. The irony is that had she injured herself in the process, she probably would have sued me for her injuries.

I've always looked at HOAs as another layer of government.  Who in their right mind would want that?

I had an aunt and uncle, he worked for Goddard Space Center and she was an executive secretary at Westinghouse I believe.  They had no children and made big money.  They built a large house on 3 acres in a big money development, wooded, by a reservoir.  They loved the covenants to keep up the property values.  They were great people but could be a bit snooty

I used to work with a mechanic who loved living in an HOA/CCR area. He always said he didn't want people leaving junk cars everywhere, ruining his property value. I also knew a guy in trade school who came in one day bitching he got another fine from the HOA for parking on the lawn.

Then again, I live in a historic neighborhood which is just as onerous at times, and I don't mind.

Nice place Nick!! -- really like the fact you have an upstairs work room.

HOA's ........... only a fool pays $$$ to a group of clowns to be told how to live on his private property

Shopping for my home, when asked what  I was looking. Two things required, east/west exposure and no HOA, the rest to be disused when  seen.

Do I see a steel beam in the ceiling?  Great place for a chain fall mounting.

Yup, it's 14" tall and 6 3/4" wide - quite substantial.

I've been on the lookout for a good USA-made trolley and chain fall for years, not too much out there.
