Backyard battle over huge hole in Granbury | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth
Backyard battle over huge hole in Granbury | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth: GRANBURY — A walk through Sandi Wynne's backyard in Granbury reveals a big danger, and the battle brewing with her homeowners association.
"It's over 100 feet long," said Wynne as she pointed to the huge hole on her property. "It's about 30 feet wide."
Minor erosion grew into the massive problem after a small creek that ran next to Wynne's home turned into a raging river. It happened in January after several days of heavy rain.
"I went out there and the yard was gone," she said.

Canada Post delivers mailbox fee to developers - The Globe and Mail
Canada Post delivers mailbox fee to developers - The Globe and Mail: Ron Olson, president of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, said builders and developers across the country were “blindsided” by the move and will fight it.
Mr. Olson said that the cost will definitely be passed on to home buyers. “Why should new homeowners pay that kind of cost when other people who are receiving mail right to their door have none?” he said. “They’re charging them for substandard service.”

A perfect excuse to form a homeowners association, eh?
