MY CONDOMINIUM

I live in a condominium of only 4-units. All four units are owned by women and we get along quite well. But one of the owners, Laurie the treasurer, is quite negative and often complains or brings up objections to new proposals. Well today takes the cake. When I called Laurie about Bill the man who has installed new doors on our building, she made me exceedingly angry. And so I sent her this message.

I have written the following draft email to the owners in our building. But since, I do not like mailing correspondence when I am so angry, I am giving you the courtesy of reading it first, before I email it. Alternatively, if you would like to write a withdrawal slip to pay Bill $1250-$1500, I will delete the email.

Hi Owners,

Bill called me this morning and asked if we could send him a partial payment for the work he has done on our doors. But when I talked to Laurie about it, she hung up on me.

Bill has finished Brenda’s and my doors and we are both happy with the work he has done. Bill has asked Laurie when he can return to re-do her door as it needs adjusting. Laurie does not like the work he has done and I suggested she should call someone else to fix it and we will not pay Bill for the work he did on her door. However, because Bill did not require an upfront 50% down payment that most companies do, I called Laurie about at least sending him a partial payment of $1250 - $1500 ($500 per door for labor on Brenda’s and my doors and $167 per entry door). When he sends a final bill we will pay the balance.

I think we should have a meeting and vote for a new treasurer.
