Shameless Advertisement :-) - Neighborhood Home Services (Lenny Vasbinder) is now available for painting the interior of your unit. My prices are very competitive and I will meet or beat any reasonable offer and since I live right here at FCC, I am available to you at convenient hours... when you are home or when you are at work or away. Give me a call to arrange for a FREE estimate. If you already have an estimate from another painter, I will look it over and give you a much better price in most cases. I can also do "detailing" of your recently renovated unit... things that your contractor did not do to your complete satisfaction or things you did not have on the contract. And yes, I even do windows... cleaning the old hurricane tape off of them, cleaning out the tracks of grime and debris, etc. Based on the estimates that I have given so far, my prices will probably be in the range of $1,000.00 OR LESS for a 1BR, $1,500.00 OR LESS for a 2BR and $2,000.00 OR LESS for a 3BR. These LOW prices are ONLY for my neighbors here at FCC. Prices outside of FCC may be slightly higher but still very competitive. Call me today at 504-621-1870 or email me at NHSNOLA@Gmail.com. Financing is available for owners not receiving insurance proceeds!!!!!
PREAMBLE TO THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE OF THE UNITED STATES - (WITH EDITS CONCERNING "CHET'S BOARD" AND OUR INDEPENDENCE HERE AT FCC)
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (and women) are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments (and Boards) are instituted among men (and women), deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed (the Owners); that whenever any form of government (or Board) becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people (the Owners) to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government (NEW Board), laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
-- Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315 (with edits by Lenny Vasbinder, 2006)
ALSO, PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED "CONDO BILL OF RIGHTS" WHICH ARE BEING ADOPTED BY CONDO ASSOCIATIONS ACROSS AMERICA TO PROTECT THE OWNERS FROM OUT-OF-CONTROL BOARDS AND MANAGERS, LIKE "CHET'S BOARD". ONCE WE GET A NEW BOARD HERE AT FCCA, THE NEW BOARD CAN ADOPT THIS "CONDO BILL OF RIGHTS", AFTER A VOTE OF THE OWNERS, SO THAT FUTURE OWNERS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH "CHET'S BOARD". ALSO OPEN AND READ THE OTHER ARTICLES CONCERNING OUT-OF-CONTROL BOARDS, LIKE "CHET'S BOARD". ESPECIALLY, READ THE "IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU" ARTICLE WHICH IS A MANAGEMENT ARTICLE THAT WAS WRITTEN BY A MANAGEMENT COMPANY ABOUT A MANAGER... JUST LIKE CHET HINGLE!!!!!

AND NOW ONTO THE HEADLINE!!!!!
THIS IS ANOTHER MUST READ FOR ALL CONDO OR HOA RESIDENTS!!!!!
http://www.TheHOAprimer.org which is a BRAND NEW web-book that has just been published on the internet. It is FREE to read off of the website. I was astonished by the information in Chapter Eleven, reprinted here, as WE have already been doing almost all of the things recommended in that chapter, long before this web-book was ever published. I was the 92nd visitor to the site. It's that NEW!!!!!
"11. What to Do
With everything that’s been said so far concerning the CID housing industry, you have probably formed the opinion that it’s an invincible behemoth that cannot be undone. But, in my opinion, nothing could be further from the truth. I see it as a decrepit giant ripe for a fall. That’s why I bothered to build this web site. I smell the blood of a vile and corrupt alliance. I think the unscrupulous activities of the CID industry make it extremely vulnerable; and when word gets out, and the public has had enough, it will be done away with.
What this industry fears most is exposure. It cannot stand up to public scrutiny. Just like cockroaches in the kitchen, when the lights go on, they all run and hide. So let there be light.
The very first time I saw our board in action, I decided I would do what I could to help put a stop to what I saw as “the fleecing of the American homeowner.” To that end, I created this website.
What you must do, if you would also like to see this American Travesty put to rest, is help shine a light on these unfortunate creatures. In short, you must expose them. In pursuit of that goal, here are some of the measures we will be examining:
Build a neighborhood website not controlled by the board.
Publicly notify the other homeowners of the board's questionable activities.
Organize the opposition in your neighborhood and others.
Organize "watch dog" groups to attend board meetings.
Publish your own neighborhood newsletter.
Contact the media and state and local lawmakers.
It’s odd. These people (HOA board members, management company representatives, and association lawyers) insist they only work for the benefit of the homeowners, and yet they go to such great pains to keep their “good deeds” a secret from those same homeowners.
Of course the truth is they’re almost always up to no good and therefore, they’re always in hiding. For such a transparently corrupt organization as the CID industry, secrecy is the best policy. That is why we must make sure they get all the exposure they so desperately try to avoid."
GO TO THE WEBSITE TODAY AT http://www.TheHOAprimer.org and read all 20 chapters!!!!!
ANOTHER GREAT FREE BOOK THAT I FOUND ABOUT ANOTHER OUT-OF-CONTROL "CHET'S BOARD"... FROM WAY BACK IN 1985!!!!!
Yes, the "Out-Of-Control" HOA Board, just like "Chet's Board" has been around since the beginning of HOA's. Read this mans story of what happened with his very own "Chet's Board", down in Florida. You can download "THE WRATH OF CONDO" in Adobe (.pdf) form from http://www.NostraCondomus.com or from the TFOI download site, http://hosted.filefront.com/TFOI.
Until next time... let "The Fountain Of Information" flow!!!!!
