Turns out, for some reason, the Paint Police (a\/k\/a our HOA’s “Architectural Control Committee”) never got the mailed-in application for our new siding, etc. Which is why they’d never contacted us back, of course. Hrm.<\/p>\n
When we confirmed that by phone, the gal who’s in charge of Paint and Siding Stuff scheduled a visit by our house the next day. And, sure as shooting, there she was.<\/p>\n
Nice lady. Very friendly. Complemented us on our landscaping (which, coming from the Paint Police, which also monitors such things, is, I guess, even higher praise). And was impressed that we’d made a copy (heh) of our application.<\/p>\n
We chatted a bit, described the siding we were getting, colors, and so forth. She had a few concerns over white trim with the wood-tone siding, but we’re going to clarify those, and she gave us the verbal approval to proceed.<\/p>\n
