Water Restrictions

[meadandale]

How on earth can someone use a half million gallons of water in two months? Or even a quarter of a million? That’s 5-10k gallons A DAY!!!

And here I am feeling guilty about my 300 sq feet of lawn that I water a couple times a week for 5 minutes and my vegetable garden.

[quote=flu]I’m more pissed my hoa sent me a letter reminding me to keep my lawn green (I guess they think I’m a squatter), despite CA water shortage.

To piss my HOA off, I might just get a can of green spray paint and paint my brown spots over….neon green that is.

Yea I got one of those a few months ago, (in my case it was winter brown lawn) I needed to add some more superBlade stuff I have in a bag, but still it pissed me off, It should be interesting if we really do get into serious water rationing, I guess I will have to install that fake stuff.

I’m mixed on this one wrto to HOA. I don’t think mine are overbearing. They usually leave people alone….Unless someone calls and complains. It helps if one of your neighbors decides to paint their fence Forbidden City red or start planing trees/bushes at/on the property line.

That would be sweet, a Forbidden City Red picket fence. :-). I’d gladly take that trade off for them to not tell me what I can/can’t plant on my yard. What if I want to make my front yard a place for kid to play and put all those plastic swings, etc out there. That, I’d think is a big no no, right?[/quote]

Well, I don’t really have a front yard (most of these tract homes don’t have a front yard large enough to stick anything)…And as for the backyard, you can do anything you want (out of sight, out of mind). Just don’t drive a 5 inch nail into a wooden fence 1 inch thick that comes out on your neighbor’s side. (That’s just not cool, even if there was no HOA)

Hey, if it’s only 300 sq ft, you can just pee on your lawn. Saves water, and probably better for the lawn anyway. 🙂
