The Super Official Homeowners Thread

And then this happened today:



Douche canoes came in and completely razed all of the trees and wetlands areas save for a small piece in the corner. Furious calls to the HOA and developer finally netted me a copy of the developer site plan, which shows that this should be a wetland buffer area (our site plan from closing only showed it was a stormwater area). The developer contact originally told me that this might be an area they have slated for a parking lot, which obviously sent me into a berzerker rage, but it turns out it's not. This supposedly was a "temporary wet pond retention area" and they are leveling that dam off and letting the water dump freely into the pond next to it and stream system. In a few hours they destroyed a perfectly good wetland habitat with birds, sneks (good and bad ones) and frogs to "create" a new wetland area.

I talked to the contractor and his boss and the excavator seemed pleased that he killed a bunch of black snakes. Right asshole you mean the ones that eat copperheads (bad sneks) and mice so they don't get in my house? I hope someone smashes his home with a giant excavator. I got the last laugh though, I am filing a report with the SC DHEC head engineer for lack of erosion control measures during excavation :evil:

Have to figure out how to get my trees to grow faster now so we have some semblance of privacy...it's going to take years for that soil and area to recover. He smashed and tore out probably 20 full grown mature trees along with the wetlands.

Our next home is going to be on some acreage out away from the masses
