September 4, 20178 yr Living in an HOA free zone has it's advantages. Got a friend in OK who says that when you can no longer take a leak off your back porch, it's time to move.

I have managed to avoid them with every house I've bought. The next one will be someplace where they don't even know what a HOA is, let alone belong to one.
September 6, 20178 yr I remember seeing the "Historical Architecture Committee" meetings on This Old House. My impression is these yahoos who wouldn't know a mortise from a hole in the ground get their 15 seconds of fame. "Well that color would not be approved... blah, blah, blah." "Those windows aren't right, .... yah, yah, yah." They probably knew less about historical correctness than anyone on the TOH team. Well, except maybe Bob VIla ;-) My daughter moved into an HOA community a couple of years ago. HOA would not approve their planned fence because the gate had an arch that made it 4" too high. My daughter pointed out that a third of the lots in the neighborhood had exactly the same fence and gate. Got approved. SIL is now president of HOA board. Apparently there was one guy who got voted off who would walk the entire neighborhood weekly looking for nit-picking problems. Edited September 6, 20178 yr by kmealy
September 7, 20178 yr Have you tried either a scrub brush or wire brush on the rough sawn? If you get splinters coming off, that means less splinters in the roller later. Stiff brush to abrade small fibers won't change appearance (still rough). Then soft brush to rid the debris. I imagine it's only a problem on the first coat?
