there have been a few developments at work at work over the past few weeks, so it looks like I will be relocating within the next year or so. I will be given the choice of Denver, Austin, Virginia, Singapore or India. Since I cannot stand heat or humidity and my family is not willing to leave the country, Denver looks to be the optimal location.
With this we have been scoping out homes online, but any home within a reasonable distance to the office is attached to some sort of Homeowner's Association (HOA). I have heard both good and bad about HOAs, but I would like to know if anyone here lives in an HOA and how the noise is handled? I know that I can try to make friends with the "enemy" or make them something, but this does not work for everyone. How do you deal with those that nitpick the HOA rules?
For background, I have my lathe, tabletop drill press, tabletop bandsaw, tabletop sander and a scroll saw so I am hoping that since these are probably the quietest tools I hope that they will not cause too many issues. I only use them maybe once a month.
