Like whoa

I turned the corner onto my street this evening, and noticed the house two doors down that has been working on it's back landscape on and off for a few months had a Tuff Shed truck out front.

"Interesting. I wonder where he's going to put it." I asked myself.
...and then I came all the way around and saw a two story (almost) behemoth Tuff Shed, faced oddly at an angle to the house, in PLAIN view of all of the neighbors and the folks that drive down our street.

Technically, our CC&R's disallow sheds or any building not attached to the house without written permission of the Architectural Committee, but I have nothing against my neighbors shed that peeks slightly above our fence. He uses it to stash pool suppplies, so I'm not going to hold it against him. Plus his is like a little house with a nice roof and such. Nicely done, WITH REGARD THAT HE HAS NEIGHBORS!

Now this thing on the other hand is completely inapprproate use of a shed. It's location, placement, and sheer grandiose nature was enough to make me walk in the house and exclaim,

"Honey, did you see that thi...."
"I can't believe they're putting in a shed that big." Chris said before I even finished my sentence.

I'm in disbelief that this dude thinks that someone won't call code enforcement on his a$$. If I was the neighbor directly behind him, I would have called today while they were putting it up to save him the trouble. A little violation of the CC&R's I can take, but WOW.

For your viewing pleasure, I've attached a picture of his shed from the Tuff Shed website. I've included a line showing how tall I am; add a foot and that's Chris' height or the height of the fence screening it from the neighborhood. Everything else is what folks can see. It's nearly as tall as his house.

Updates forthcoming, I'm sure.
