"THE FOUNTAIN OF INFORMATION" - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 01, 2006

 

ANNOUNCING THE "PAINT THE FRONT DOORS PROGRAM" -

 

After hearing back from several people around the courtyards and via email, I have decided to start a "Paint The Front Doors Program" where I will paint the front doors of anyone who would like it for $15.00 or the price could be as low as $10.00 if enough people participate.  This will include taping off the door lock and handle and wiping down the dull dingy paint with TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) which cleans the oxidation and preps the old paint so that the new paint does not peel off... which is what is going to happen to a lot of the paint that is being done right now since NO prep work was done in most areas.  If you would like to participate in this program, please email me, call me or drop me off a little note so I can further plan this program.  I plan on doing this on a Saturday and/or Sunday within the next couple of weeks so get in touch with me right away so I can get all of the materials I will need.  It would be best if you are home when I am painting your door so I can open the door and paint all the way to the edges but if you are not home, I can still paint what is visible.

 

I wish I could paint all 94 doors so they would all look "nice" but I can only do this for people who request my services, so there may be a checkerboard effect of some doors freshly painted and other doors with the old dull, dingy paint on them.

 

WHY "CHET'S BOARD" ISN'T PAINTING THE FRONT DOORS - 

 

One owner told me that Chet Hingle (HingleC@bellsouth.net) said the front doors are the owners responsibility which is why he did not instruct the painters to paint the front doors.  Ummmm.... I have one question?  Who does he think owns the rest of the building that is being painted????  THE OWNERS, THAT'S WHO... or maybe he still doesn't get it!!!!  He is using YOUR MONEY to paint the rest of the building so why doesn't he just use a little more of YOUR MONEY to paint ALL of the front doors?????  After all, this is your money that he confiscated from many of the owners who did not collect their 20% contractor profit and overhead... or it was paid as part of the overall insurance settlement for the common elements... but either way, it is YOUR MONEY, NOT HIS!!!!!

 

THERE WAS ANOTHER FIRE AT FOUNTAIN COURT -

 

I've been told by a reliable source that there was a fire in unit #17 in the front courtyard.  I know this is one of the many new owners here at Fountain Court so many of us do not know the nice lady who lives there.  I've only talked to her briefly in passing when I was working on one of the units in the front courtyard.  If anybody is in contact with her or her family, please let them know that if there is anything that I or the neighbors here at FCC can do to help, please send me an email or call me and I'll get the word out.

 

CHET DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR COMPLAINTS OR KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND HERE -

 

After the recent Special Edition of "The Fountain Of Information", Chet Hingle approached me while I was working on one of our neighbors windows and told me he does not want any emails from me.  As the Board's "hired gun" manager around here, you would think he would want to know what the owners and tenants are thinking or complaining about... but that would take common sense and we all know that Chet is seriously lacking in that department.  Since he has requested that I no longer send him the newsletter, I have taken him off the mailing list but that does not prevent you and the other owners from forwarding a copy to Chet with questions or concerns that you may have.  Remember that his email address is HingleC@bellsouth.net.

 

Until next time... let "The Fountain Of Information" flow!!!!!
