I would normally start off with questions about the weather and things, but I was reading your introduction on your Facebook page and are you sure you want to talk to me in a public forum because it's a secret, farmstead? Yeah. No, I'm not worried about it at all. Let's do it. Okay. What I'm alluding to for the listeners is that 00:58 Heidi lives on a couple of acres from what I gathered, but there's something about an HOA situation. Do you want to elaborate, Heidi? Yeah, I can do that. We live in a super bougie neighborhood. Our houses in this subdivision range from probably the high 700,000 up to close to $2 million homes. We bought this 01:25 location because we left the house and it has a guest house or casita and initially my parents had moved with us. So we were told that we didn't have an HOA when we purchased our land and that is technically true. However, we do have what's called an ACC, an architectural control committee that thinks they're an HOA and we do have deed restrictions. So despite living in the county and 01:52 The county allowing, you know, so many heads of cattle or livestock per acre and those kind of rules, our little subdivision technically does not allow anything like that except for your household dogs or cats. So while I have a couple of acres that is flat and completely usable, technically I'm not supposed to have anything like what I have. And it started with maybe a couple of chickens from 02:21 uh, tractor supply. Um, and now I might have 24 chickens. Um, and then I thought, well, uh, I want dairy. So now I have maybe a few goats. So anyway, it's just kind of expanded from there and where we live, we're on a kind of a corner lot at the entrance of the subdivision. So we don't have a neighbor behind us and we don't have a neighbor on 02:50 the other side of the property where the animals are kept. It's next to a frontage road. So no one's disturbed by our animals. And really most people don't even know we have them. We don't advertise them, but we also are respectful and don't advertise that we're breaking the rules either. Uh-huh. Except for being on a podcast that anyone can listen to. 03:14 You know, I used to be really concerned about being more open about it, you know, because I'm, you know, I have a career in law enforcement and I was always a rule follower and a rule enforcer. But my neighbors all love my animals. So the ones that are directly adjacent to me basically across the street or next door, the opposite side. So that's not been an issue for us. And I routinely provide them, you know, fresh baked sourdough or goat milk or 03:44 eggs, you know, so they really do benefit from it, even though they're not quite willing or able to break the rules themselves, they are kind of reaping the benefits of my break in the rules. And I did a lot of research as far as how the laws work and, you know, an ACC is architectural control. So really that is they can dictate, you know, the size of your home and what is built out of and your fencing and things like that. 04:12 As far as the deed restrictions that they have put into place for our subdivision, technically, in order to enforce those, a neighbor would have to take me to court. And if I thought, you my husband and I had this conversation initially, if we thought that truly this bothered any of our neighbors, we wouldn't do it. I mean, I don't want to a bad neighbor. But also, I want to be able to use my land and not have people tell me what I can and can't do because it seems silly. 04:40 that I have a couple acres that I'm not allowed to utilize in a way that would allow me to be a little more self-sustaining and a little more, you know, organic in my approach to my, you know, skincare and my food. So anyway. okay. Thank you. Thank you for elaborating. Because once I realized what was going on when I read your, your about you thing, I was like, Oh boy, I don't know if she's really going to want to talk to me, but clearly you do. I'm very excited about ...
