That's a great wall

I would love a relationship as strong as that wall

Not sure the gravel around his his house is adequate drainage if that thing ever let's go.

That grass isn't going to cut itself.

I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees.

We should get him to build the wall, in Canada that is...

Well this lawn isn't going to cut itself - guy probably

No excuse level: austria
queenoflurking
Where is this? And is the water supposed to be that high?
Kopse
It's in Grein in Austria, the water is supposed to be about 7m deep there and when this picture was taken it was at about 15m
queenoflurking
Yikes.

Water is high – but not too dam high!

Lol this is in Austria btw. "Grein a.d. Donau" if you want to have a look at it without high water.

Who the hell mows their lawn while the grass is wet?
markjx
When I lived in Oregon, they did that. They'd mow in the rain. Can't put off mowing for 3 months so it dries out! :)

Getting away from the wife I see

seems like the type of guy that would was his car at 3 am on a tuesday in a rainstorm to get away from the missus

Seems to me that the water level isn't the same in the second picture

Waters have receded, that's why the sandbags are stacked up again...

That's an ad site. You obviously see in the photo that the water is no more than 4 feet high by the signpost.

At my house it wouldn't be the parent mowing the lawn... Also the child wouldn't have gas for the mower cause the parent is stingy

With money and insists if the child wants to use the mower for the chore the parent makes them do for free (mind you they cannot get

A legitimate job because too young) they have to buy the gas with the money they don't have because they don't get paid for Jack in the hous

To be completely honest I don't feel bad for my sisters now that I'm not in that house any more.
MOTHERFUCKINGVIRGINMARY
Am I the only one who sees these 2 as different images that look similar but the 2nd one is just a fence beside a lake and not overflowing
abundantbadgers
I see that.... now.
RecurringNightmare
nah its not a fence, its a "floodwall", they temporarily made the stone wall higher because of flood...look at the green thing in the 1/
RecurringNightmare
background, they sealed the gate in that stone wall with that thing to make it waterproof...definitely not a normal fence 2/2
probshouldntsayitbut
And he has piles of sandbags in his yard
Voydom
The water on the 2nd one is up to 1/3rd of the fence, you can see it if you focus on the traffic sign.
valathe
the sign on the lamppost literally says "boats crossing"
herppavitunderrpa23
they both have fucking street lights half submerged though
ThunderousGalaxy
The street light in the second one disappears behind the wall not into the water

"Roote queren" is definitely not German though. Sounds like... don't know, Dutch maybe.

It's not Dutch, not even close.

I think it's "Boote"
Closed247
It's "Boote queren" and is German for "boats crossing".
raviolihummingbird
Huh. I'm german myself, and I didn't know "queren" is a word. I'd have chosen... "passieren", maybe.

God Damn HOA rules.
monimoomo
It's a love hate relationship. I like having a nice clean community, hate the fines and rates they charge!!
cathoderaysunshine
HOA is a straight out bar from me buying a home. A neighborhood should lose all value because of them. And I pretty well follow their rules.
FlyingDeetus
Higher Order Ambisonics isn't the best out there

Sorry for my illiteracy but what is HOA?
cthulhubeard
Think the EU of your neighborhood.
Freakingdoomguy
They stole a soldiers home and only gave it back when the government forced them to
castlemacaw
The joke is that the homeowners association will fine ($) you if your lawn gets too long
InsanityCrab
Can that shit be taken to the law if you refuse or is it just Margret from number 47 being a cunt?
castlemacaw
HOA agreements (that you sign when you move in) are usually pretty ironclad.. they can hurt you real bad if you don't pay up or fall in line
InsanityCrab
Fuck, sounds like that episode of the X Files where they send the garbage monster after you if you don't mow your garden!

HOA = Homeowners Association. AFAIK only exist in the USA. No one really likes them https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeowner_association
ThisMeansALot
I'm not a homeowner, you're a homeowner.
CommentingTil1mGlorious
A thanks

No problem
sydneygirl
the are also called Body Corporate in some countries. Often for tall residential buildings with shared infrastructure (elevators, gym etc)
nanyatenyaa
I like the concept.Usually results in a nice looking living space for the community and can help increase property value and pay for repairs
ThatComputerDude
Yea, but God forbid you try to repaint your house with the same color. They want color samples and a formal scope of work. Fuck HOAs
dewimgur
It pays for repairs for the common areas that the city normally would take care of making it cheaper for cities.
nanyatenyaa
Or making the repair actually happen... or things cities don't pay for, like private community pools and parking.
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
I love mine. It helps me deal with neighbors that insist on letting their dogs bark for hours on end at inappropriate times of the day.
CPatricoo
Fuck that you pay for the repairs nearly all of the time. You have to used their preferred references for a "discount" which is bogus.
nanyatenyaa
Your personal experience =/= all HOAs
nforsComputerSmuggler
Well increase property and fine you till you can pay for repairs
dewimgur
The HOA pay a management company to do the bulk of the work... including having them drive by every home monthly to check for violations.
nanyatenyaa
Usually the way they work is the association fees, not fines, are intended for making repairs on community items...
