I am starting to question the integrity of home inspectors being hired by RMers purchasing homes.

PS - I love that you came here rather than google “lukewarm shower”

I did google it to find out how to adjust it. But only after your recommendation.

You mean after he googled what to tell you. Bammer can’t even post a picture on RM.

Well, yes of course. I was under no illusions there.

Get the fuck out, Ruddo.

This one was all me.

Please post a pic of what your face looked like when you read my post

what’s that white stuff

Holy shit! Now we have to vote on ANOTHER house! What the living fuck is going on here.

It's time to destroy my HOA's covenants!

One of my neighbors called me opinions on the matter inconsiderate and condescending to the neighbors who have to look at the house and are truly upset by the colors.

That's OK. I find HOAs to be condescending, racist holdovers from the red-line era, and the two families that we're attacking are both immigrant families who don't speak English as a first language. My inconsiderate ass will sleep just fine tonight.

time to paint your house rainbow in solidarity

A paint job costs 400 rainbow, black power fist flags.

B, get a fucking grip.

I have dealt with countless HOA’s and not a single interaction could be described as racist.

Maybe North Carolina is different, that’s the only potential leeway I give you here. I agree HOA’s are total pains in the ass, and especially unnecessary for single-family neighborhoods. But honestly man get a fucking grip.

my bathroom door is shut, but there's smoke billowing out...not sure what i should do

Team B. My wife comes from NC. Lots of soft racism there, especially within the upper middle class / upper class. Lots of NIMBY shit. I could totally see B’s neighbors donating to Biden and patting themselves on the back for frequenting the new Lebanese restaurant in town, but then banding together to make sure the vibrant paint jobs of a Puerto Rican family don’t cause an eyesore. Real Green Book shit. Fuck ‘em.

I doubt this is racially driven, but when you make a committee to punish families with different tastes than the majority, whitey's always gonna win.

In my vision of B's HOA conundrum, he is torn between his being accepted by the alpha HOA members, who are genteel but yet tightly-wound paula deen types - and his white guilt fueled compassion for the latinos that live across the street from him, who quietly make fun of him constantly because he works really hard to be nice and say 'hi', but they could not care less about him. The tension builds as the Paula Deen contingent begins the HOA meeting with comments about the house 'colors', and then at one point a member deliberately mis-pronounces the issue as about 'the coloreds' - to which the entire HOA erupts in laughter - except B. He stands there, tight fisted - having flashbacks of his civil disobedience training days with Mr. Miyagi - but is snapped out of his daydreams by the resolution being passed around to be signed. The HOA member to his left nudges him - B looks down and it's a voting tally - one more vote left in order to pass the resolution to force a change in the color of the house - and only one person left in the room to vote: B. At that point he hears the cry of a baby in the distance - it's followed by the sound of a young boy 'mama, mama -donde esta papa?!' he asks, but mama does not know. Papa left long ago. The boy returns to playing alone, but not before he peers across the street and makes eye contact with B - who has been staring at the boy the whole time. Just as B prepares to turn to the HOA to announce his decision,

Spoiler: show

the police slam him to the ground and arrest him because he was oggling the boy for 15 minutes from afar and his abuelita got uncomfortable and called 911

Right. I don’t think it’s overtly driven either. Just an unwillingness to fully embrace people of different cultures.
