The HOA instead decided that they would take it up a notch and begin fining me weekly for this Heating, Ventilation, and A/C rule breach

I care about being a dad. There are particular times when it’s not all that pleasant but overall, it’s made our life so much more worthwhile. However, there are times when you just have to let your youngsters figure out things on their own. That is where I am with our oldest child right now. He’s a fantastic kid and trying to spread his wings a bit. Recently, he has been wanting to make some extra money by doing yard labor for us and some other neighbors. This has led to a face off with the HOA over our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C. In an effort to help him learn, I recommended that he trim our hedges first to figure it out. I showed him how to set up the strings to keep it level and all that. However, given that it was his first time with hedge trimmers, there was a lot of night up to do. This resulted in the hedge getting lowered considerably more than normal. And evidently, the HOA has taken note of this result as well. I gained a letter in the mail respectfully warning me that our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C could now be viewed from the street. This is in direct fight with a rule of theirs stating that Heating, Ventilation, and A/C cottageets are hidden from view. While a bit frivolous, I responded to the letter explaining that it was a one time thing and that the hedge would grow back soon. I figured that would be it. But, I was quite mistaken. The HOA instead decided that they would take it up a notch and begin fining me weekly for this Heating, Ventilation, and A/C rule breach. I can’t guess that I am going to have to turn something this trivial over to our lawyer.
