Thanks for reading them and responding.
You did ask a question though, whose implied answer I am skeptical of. You've been at closings (or at least I have in my, hmmm, 6 houses I've purchased for personal use). Your attorney or some agent has supposedly looked at all the paperwork. I take it on faith that when they tell me it's "okay", that it is okay. Papers get keep getting shoved at you to be signed. I, at least, never would have dreamed that anyone could tell me through a covenant that I couldn't do a legal activity INSIDE my own home.
Those covenants are for keeping the front yard free from jacked up cars, etc., or even more strenuous conditions, like paint color. What will now happen is that I won't be able to live in a neighborhood with covenants, because they control much more than noise and exterior conditions. Controlling inside is much more questionable. It seems to me to be self-defeating.
