The Henry Levy House Boycotts Christmas Tree Lane

Two years running a “neighbor” has reported our Christmas arches over the sidewalk and the City of Oxnard has made us take them down. This year they threatened to fine us $100 per day if we didn’t. So ALL of our decorations came down since the City allows the Boy Scouts to place American Flags in the very same place without issue.

The House Gets a New Roof!


Before and after.

We didn’t even need a new roof as our inspector told us we had at least 15 years left in the wood shake roof. But our insurance company refused to renew us unless we got rid of the wood shakes. It was very expensive, unfortunately.
