You'll love this one. Our house was a non-walkout. My mother-in-law is moving in with us so we needed to put in an apartment in the basement for her. For safety as well as comfort we put in a huge sliding glass wall rather than just an egress window. Because its all below grade we put in a retaining wall that is terraced, the expanse between the house and the wall is a permeable brick patio. We had a very good architect design it and a wonderful landscape architect do all the outside work. The HOA denied approval because they weren't clear on the patio. Twice! T-W-I-C-E!!!!! They approved the sliding glass wall, they approved the retaining wall but said no to the patio. What do they want us to do, have a mud pit outside the door? The project is done, so they fine me. Another lawyer friend said to just take it to the board. He's on the board and will get it through. This is so sick!
