[TowerTalk] Looking for typical size attic info

[Kim]

Ken, if we were only so fortunate in Alabama to have full disclosure.  I would not have purchased my present home.  It did force me to find a remote site eventually.
Speaking of which, some deeds have HOA-type restrictions, but no one left to enforce them.  No HOA was set up, and the developer long gone.  Unfortunately, I am in an active HOA.  Yes, buyer beware.

73, Kim - WG8S
