    Car Paint Help

    Look around for Black primer/sealer then you will only have to spray that instead of the primer and then a top coat. The sealer is not porous like plain primer, so you are ok without a top coat for a while. I would only rock the sealer as a top coat if the car stays cept for cruising around.

    The animal underneath

    I did put plywood over the first set of holes that it dug to get under the fence and the shed, it just dug different holes. But, there is no entrance and exit holes under the shed just one hole. No signs of it today again, so maybe it found a bigger shed to move to....:D

    Dealing with neighborhood covenants

    All this talk is exactly why when my wife and I were looking for our first home, we told the realtor that we did not want an HOA. Plus, I didn't see the point of paying fees to live in a house I am already paying for.
