Gardening and A "Virtual Fence"



I live in a goofy neighborhood.  One that has (or had, I really have to check into this) a "Neighborhood Association".  A list of rules to keep the property values stable, or some such reason.  Thus my reprimands for the heinous sin of....*gasp*....hanging clothes out to dry on a line, and heaven forbid, a giant kiddy pool.  Pools apparently aren't allowed unless they are in ground pools.  A giant inflatable "kiddy/family" pool is an ABOVE GROUND POOL and is verboten.  I sort of checked into this 2 years ago when I was told to remove the offending pool, but haven't done anything since.  The short time the square pool was up last year, there was no letter.
I am also not allowed a fence, as it wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing, what with my location in the neighborhood.  At the entrance, with the original fencing around the compound/neighborhood.  So.......Chuck built a virtual fence.  There are fence posts and wire.  Ostensibly, it is for garden stuff to climb up, not a fence for privacy.
That was what Chuck did most of the day yesterday.  I helped out by holding and eyeballing.  Hard work, that.
