Is there an HOA rule that addresses outside lighting and when it should be off?
​
There are no rules regarding the time outside lighting should be turned off. We highly encourage all members to be considerate of their neighbors and to do their utmost to not have lighting that disrupts others lifestyle and comfort. The HOA rules state that we should restrict “Creating a noise or light in the common area that can be heard or seen in a home or lot such that the noise or light is (1) offensive to the senses, (2) disruptive to the comfortable enjoyment and lifestyle of other residents, or (3) an obstruction to the free use of property so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life.”
Do I need a 4-wheel drive and snow tires on Timphaven in the winter?
​
4-wheel drive, chains or studded tires are not only recommended but are critical during the winter months. Each year there are multiple crashes and cars sliding off the road and into the stream during the winter due to poor traction. Even with proper precautions, it is vital that all drivers slow down and proceed very cautiously.
How frequent should I have my chimney cleaned?
