    This is why I hate acronyms. Those who use them know them so well that they seem like plain language. They're not.

    Please spell it out if you really want to communicate with people, especially on a worldwide forum like this where even plain English words have different meanings around the planet.

    For one, I hate being left out of the conversation because someone else thinks I should know a set of initials.

    I once receive a missive of 4 pages from the UK company I and 14 others worked for ( We were in Saudi and well out of the normal information loop) . I emailed back and asked for a translation of all the TLAs ....16 pages came back!!

    Congratulations on your plot, I hope you have plenty of enjoyment there.

    Thank you Steve, I'm obliged,

    Your 'HOA' seems to be the rough equivalent of what we know in Australia as the 'body corporate', set up in apartment blocks for owners or their agents to manage the maintenance of the common areas.
