Something Your Home Doesn't Have That You Wish It Did?

Yep, you got it.

One exception: if you buy a home in a community that has a homeowner's association (HOA), there are rules like what color you can paint your house, rules about trash and lawncare, even about keeping your garage door closed.
we don't have HOA's here but we do on our gated community in Spain, although not as strict as those I read about ion the USA.. the only thing we have to do in our house in Spain is to have the house the same colour as the rest..white.. and they did try and make a rule that everyone had to have the same colour sunshades and awnings, but no-one was paying any attention, and refused to do it... even after we were threatened with a community Fine.. we just dared them to do it...

There more rules with regard to the community pool than the houses tbh, and we generally abide by those for everyone's safety
 

As you can see pretty much everything 😁

Just kidding
After years of working and always trying to do my job right, while I've watched other's who didn't, I'm getting pretty confident that this is where I may end up.
 
1) Pet cougar as guard dog.

2) Three highly trained cartel sicarios as enforcers for all the idiot kids who do idiot stuff when they pass by the house.

see how much they like it, when they are kidnapped and taken to a remote desert in Mexico, where they will be forced to work as slaves...

3) more chocolate

4) Buckets of gold bullion

5) Magic dust that transforms me into a Superman with Superman powers (but no weakness to Kryptonite), so that I can take over the world and force everyone to wear lime green shirts with orange pants (a secret wish of mine).

6) comfortable slippers.
 
An android maid that cleans exactly like I tell it and then goes to its spot and turns off until I need it again. As soon as inventors/scientists invent/perfect this, I want one.
You're talking about my favorite cartoon.
THE Jetson's
The c scientists c are working on a few robots that look real human.
I'm sure you all h Ave seen this by now.

They can tell people what color they can paint their houses? That is extreme!!!

Do they all have to "match," or simply not use totally-odd colors???
Puts me in mind of Pete Seeger's "Little Boxes"!!
 
Launderettes are alive and kicking! Even though I have a washer/dryer at home, I use to pop the weekly load of bedding, towels etc into our local launderette on my way to work and pick it up on my way home, all washed, pressed and ready to put away (the laundry not me! :)). The machines at the launderette are bigger than domestic machines and the dryers are quicker. With so many flatdwellers and people working, the launderettes and cleaning services seem to always be busy. Even the local supermarket has a laundry service and I often see people take their weekly bag of shirts in to be cleaned and ironed. I know a couple of ladies who have started their own laundry business since Covid.

If I could have something in my home which it hasn't currently got, I would like a bigger ktichen and/or more outdoor space. (y)
 
I've never gotten an explanation. Management probably doesn't want to have to deal with plumbing problems or leaky machines or any kind of damage from them.

Lots and lots of apartments and condos have washer/dryer outlets or a laundry room, and some even furnish the machines. But ones that don't usually don't allow portable ones.

or higher utility bills.

This place has neither- landlords locked the laundry rooms, none in apartments and none allowed.
 
Apartment.
No, this area has become dangerous in recent years.
Been looking for another place, but no luck so far.
I'm extremely sorry to hear that. While I'm tired of my apartment and still looking to buy a mobile home in an adult park, I at least feel safe here and don't worry when I leave the apartment.

Keep looking diligently and don't give up.
 
I need a table for the room in the back of my house so I can sit out there and drink my morning coffee and look out over the yard. And a chair to go with it. I'm planning to build a table, but I'm working on some other things that have a higher priority. I'm tempted to find a cheap one on Craigslist in the mean time.
