To all you piss and moaners telling her how to antagonize her HOA: not a smart move and pretty immature. She bought into the community knowing there were CC&Rs. She apparently misconstrued their application. She should take the time to learn their correct interpretation.[/quote]
Antagonizing the neighbor is bad form too, that last thing you want is a pissing match with a neighbor to generating fining issues for the HOA.
When tangling with the HOA, keep in mind, many of them now default to proceeding to fines, then collections as rapidly as possible until an issue is resolved. Until you reach a judgment, they will continue to levee late fees, etc and they add up incredibly fast.
As the previous poster pointed out, most higher end neighborhoods require landscaping approval, hence you likely really are in violation unless the playhouse is so small it’s readily movable by a single person.
All that said, what’s wrong with your neighbor to have pissy fit about a kids playhouse in the back yard.
And all that said, if same said neighbor is downwind, maybe you should take up smoking foods on an outdoor smoker. I’d suggest a beef brisket as it’ll take all day to smoke and can handle the heavy hickory, pecan or mesquite smoke which can be quite pungent and acrid.
