Today I turned it into a pirate flag. Tomorrow, I'm going to put duct tape over the hole and change the pirate flag to a 'TREE OUT OF ORDER' sign.

I wish I had some 'police line' tape. I'd love to draw the outline of the tree and 'mark off' the front yard.

They really should not be able to impact your services for a lack of HOA being paid.. and depending on what/how it was signed - there is an amazing amount they can get away with.
That's awesome. Our garage door broke once and we replaced it (we were the second owners of the house) and it didn't exactly match the rest and we got a threatening letter saying we had to replace it or paint it.

I called and explained that the garage door had been broken and replaced. When they asked if it was replaced by me, I said no. Technically it was replaced by Home Depot.

They did threaten though to have someone just come paint it. They would show up to our house unbeknown to us and just start painting. Yeah, I can just see TheDoc now when that happens.
