So, to elaborate on the pool situation mentioned in my previous post.....
Our neighborhood pool is saline, not chlorine. Well, when they built the pool they did not think of this and sealed the concrete incorrectly...so over the last couple years, the concrete has cracked and started flaking off. It would need repaired to make the pool safe to use. This was brought to the HOA management company's attention many months ago. However, it wasn't until 2 weeks ago that they (mgmt co) thought it was prudent to get estimates and start work. So.....they met with the contractors last Monday. On Tuesday they drained the pool and began work. We got an email that said the pool MIGHT open on Memorial Day, as the work was expected to be completed on Thurs/Fri and then they could start filling the pool.....um, they worked all weekend and are STILL working on the concrete. We are scheduled for an opening on May 30, but I am not so sure....Of course the cost of this band aid (yes the current repairs do not fix the problem, they'll have to do that later in the year) is much higher than expected...and as you can imagine, the homeowners will likely get assessed to pay for this band-aid and then again later for the actual repair....SERIOUSLY PEOPLE....ARE YOU KIDDING ME....The management company SUCKS (and I don't like that word)....
Here's hoping I get to lounge by a pool this weekend, I need to work on my tan before the Bahamas.... until then, maybe the rain isn't so bad.
The ONLY good thing about all this....the weather was pretty nasty, so it didn't matter that I couldn't lounge by the pool....
Thanks for letting me vent...now back to work!
