So the home association in my neighborhood is claiming I can't cover MY yard in various qualities of razor and barbed wire.

My question is why doesn't everyone cover their yards in this stuff? It cut(:smug: ) down on all those lovely kids using my property as a shortcut to the quarry!

Yeah, do this OP, but with your fence. Use glue.



Match the color of the glass to your fence, so people can't spot it at night. Maybe those drat kids will then nick an artery or something while trying to jump the fence and bleed out. Build that wall.

I like these ideas, especially the fish hooks cause it would be hard for those pesky home owners association council people to see it from the street. but listen i dont want to harm the kids i just dont want them to use my lawn for short cuts, and to be honest that quarry has killed more than a handful of kids but what do i know!

The Vietnamese used to dig out holes and fill them with feces covered spikes and then cover them with grass or foliage.

If this is true then it's your sacred duty to make your house look as ugly, gaudy and offensive as legally possible while not getting dinged by actual legitimate bylaw violations.

Might I suggest a gigantic wacky waving inflatable dildo? Purple, preferably.

You can call it art.

When you redo the vinyl siding on the house, pick out three random colours, mix and match the pieces, and put them up in whatever order they are in.

Sort of like this, but even more random and more garish colour clashing.

you don't "catch" assurgers though... you're born with it. so at this point, if I am fascinated by building traps, I'm just weird. not autistic, right?

What sort of authority do HOA's have? In college I remember getting an angry call from my landlord because he said our area HOA association called him bitching about the trash in our back yard. It was a flat tire my roomate had replaced two days before and a taco bell Big Box on top of it.

So far, I have just gotten letters and calls. They have threatened to call the cops but lol hasnt happened yet. The city left a warning citation for my overgrown lawn a few months ago but, I really didnt do much. A tree fell down because of a storm so maybe they think that all that left over branches was me cleaning up?

Wrong.

That being said, an obvious trap makes a good diversion for a more skillfully concealed trap. Ex: a heaping bowl of candy on an empty porch with cartridge traps hidden in the steps leading up to the porch

There's a cool scene in True Detective where they sneakily infiltrate a far out dug in lsd lab and one of the cooks runs away into a grenade trip wire. I just realized he may have done it on purpose considering what else was found at the lab...
