When they totally dug up and redid my street many years ago, I had to park in the visitor parking for at least a week, and walk up the front sidewalk, entering through my front door.  My garage is in the back and literally opens into the street (which was just a big hole at the time), so I couldn't even go into my garage.  It was a pain going to and from work, and getting groceries, but I got through it OK.

So a fire truck or ambulance or police car couldn't respond to a call?

Never heard of not being able to drive on a newly paved road for 5 days. 

What are they using that takes that long to cure?

Our streets were resurfaced 2 years ago.  They did it where you could park on a alternate street day hours & overnite at our clubhouse parking lots. Plus our security provided transportation by golf carts (from 6am-10pm no one used it after 8 I'm sure they were in bed😉) anyway it worked fine.

If you needed a ride to your vehicle all you had to do was ask.  We could drive on the street after 2 days.  It was a little inconvenient but it worked out fine...

What really annoys the h#### our of me is when the close our pool facilities for 3 weeks with no notice when the "snowbirds" leave for updates/repairs.  It's usually in the month of June or July when company is visiting! ugh....

Does the board not have to have a vote on the paving with the owners prior to scheduling the work?  When i lived in a condo, they took a vote and it was put in the minutes from the meeting.

The street I live on was re-paved last year and we had to stay off it for 2 whole days only.  That was easy for me because I am retired and only go to the grocery store one time a week, so it was OK.  They did provide us a place to park our car about 4 houses down from me that we could park and walk to our car.  Would have been a really short walk for me, but like I mentioned, I didn't need to go anywhere those 2 days.  It was one day for paving, and one day for it drying (I guess??)!!   LOL

That is really unacceptable and I would make sure to get with the neighbors and file a complaint so the HOA knows this is not going to work. There is no way you can not leave your home for five days or that you can't get mail either for that matter. The contractor who is doing the work needs to accomdate the home owners and do something that will work for all of you.

@151949 It's good you asked for clarification because they should not be able to stop the mail, and as you said, people have to get to work.

I don't always pay attention to poster's names, but @GenXmuse, you don't seem to like the OP which I don't understand, nor do I need to. I guess sometimes people rub each other the wrong way.

You can park at the end of the street, on another street, walk or bike to your house, it happens all the time.

Exactly, I think OP needs to get over it and move on. If this is the biggest challenge she is facing in her life, she is darn lucky.

Further to my earlier post on this thread, I have now had two deliveries today, despite our road being closed.  Amazon came around the sidewalk with a hand-truck, delivering packages.  And just now, my doorbell rang and there was a UPS delivery.  Didn't see the driver anywhere, but his truck was parked outside the barricade. I'm assuming he walked in the packages also.  Not sure what USPS will do.
