I'm sorry I wrote the title like a 4 year old but this is funny
So as most of you know I'm the president of our HOA board. My neighbor in the townhouse complex is also on the board. I also have 3 dishes and an antenna on the roof of my townhouse
So tonight we have a "quick" (yeah right) meeting to decide which color shingles we are going to get for our new roofs. We decide on one then they start talking about other board things (uh ok....)...then all of a sudden my neighbor says "so what are you going to do with the dishes you have on the roof when they put the new roof on?"
I responded with "I'll take them down the night before and they'll go back up when they're done"
She tells me "no you can't because you're only allowed one dish because the board says ......"
I busted out laughing and explained nicely that FCC Otard overrides the board's "silly little rule". I starting explaining that OTARD protects me and even stated some of their (the board) rules on placement and how many. The board rule says it has to be on the deck or on the edge of the roof which mine are. They are all within the designated rules that protects me and they are all sealed properly so no leaks and even offered to bring the OTARD rule that protects me. I've been helping people with OTARD and HOA's for years
she says "well I have a lawyer friend who will look at it".,..I said "she can look at it all she wants. The rule protects me and allows me to put as many dishes up as I want. They have to be on my exclusive area but if the townhouse complex allows another spot then they waive their part of "exclusive" which you say it can be on the edge of the roof.
One other board member asked can they go on the deck and I explained no because I cant get a signal then (true)
The best thing my neighbor can come back with was "well it looks like s**t"...That set me off quicker than a firecracker. I said "you cant see it from the road or the driveway. You can only see it if you walk around to my yard....oh so Bill (her husband) decides since he makes his own beer he is going to nail a "T" 12-15 feet on top of his chimney to grow hops (same side of the house as the dish farm is). Yeah that dont look like s**t...When you open the garage and if I walked in there I couldnt even find room for a fart because its so packed full...yeah that dont look like hell
She got so mad because I told her if you have an issue with it well then YOU are going to have to file a grievance with the FCC and the board isnt paying for it she said "I have to go home and eat now"
The funny part is she is resigning from the board next month anyways so why does it bother her?
oh well...so even being the board president I need OTARD in my pocket
I guess she learned dont argue with me about my dish farm

(BS!) The installer wanted to put them on the ground but the homeowner requested them on the roof! Lots of holes in that new roof and they are near the peak of the roof!
