Fixing Up Our Home

It took a bit of time but our Condo unit looks fantastic once again.

Over the last few weeks, all of the units in our Condominium Corporation and the separate one across the street were finally finished up by our relevant Boards retaining an outside company. That company, which also does our landscaping, made all of our Condo units look really wonderful once again and they were put back into great shape.

Hey, we have "new" units now!

It made sense for my wife and I to live in this particular Condominium Corporation unit. When we moved in, it had in its control a very nice chunk of money set aside to pay for projects like this. Our Board of Directors has acted in a very smart fashion to make sure that it has enough funds to pay for projects that have to be undertaken as well as having enough money to make any repairs required. As you can guess, each year, as part of our budget fees, the Condo Corporation Board figures out the kind of money we will need over the next few years and sets up the budget to help bring that money in at the proper time.

Of course, our monthly payments are higher than they could be. But that amount is not all that substantial compared with the amount of money that would have to be paid out in one big lump sum if a big job had to be done and there was not enough money in the Condo's bank account to pay for it.

I am so happy that we have organized our financial issues so well to make our lives easier.

Just wonderful!
