But not bored.

Today was a special meeting of the Condo Board.

We had an emergency. Bad sewer lines in the old section of the complex and the need to replace them.

It all fell apart at about the same time.

Bad but not too bad to be fixed without an added assessment on the owners. We would do almost anything to avoid that.

The fees here are very stable and we believe sufficient for things like this.

It turns out that is true. We have the money.

Just enough.

It is hard to have a Board Meeting in the summer, so many people are gone. But we got a good turnout anyway and will be able to take our first step toward getting things corrected.

The problem is the roots of the trees. The wrong kind. Ficus.

These will be taken out and Mexican Palms put in to replace. These are very shallow rooted and far more appropriate for the desert.

We are told that this problem has been put off for years but we are biting the bullet and doing the job. That feels good.
