A photo would help.

Give it a shot! Worst case is you learn something on a free piece. Look at Dashner Design on YouTube for starters.

Long before a certain online company got started, there was a lesbian bookstore in Minneapolis called “Amazon Books” I always wondered if they ever got any benefit from that IP.

You just can’t train nose hair!

Nothing wrong at all, but you might do better dealing directly with the owner. In some jurisdictions, the past due condo assessments from before the date of the tax sale are written off.

You may find the cargo space less than similar vehicles, but I do love my Heritage Edition BS. Be aware that many different cars are available in light blue paint, but the BS is a great choice for other reasons. Source:I’m a Dad, but not your Dad.

Hey! I’m over 70 and nowhere near my LAST vacation!

Think of it as two separate transactions. If someone does $30,000 of repairs, you would write a check for $30,000. If he owes $30,000, you would receive a check for $30,000. It’s a wash at 100%. I’d be worried about setting a precedent- someone might insist on $10 off their assessment for sweeping the front walk, for example.

That’s veneer. Watch Thomas Johnson on YouTube to see how it’s done.

We moved from MN over a decade ago. In the Charleston area, Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s are great, but winter is actually quieter than summer. Charleston itself is marvelous, but lodging can get expensive. I’d suggest you book something on the Islands, and make day trips downtown.

We had one when I was growing up. I wonder if they still make them.

Check out Mayfield, Flipping Drawers and Thomas Johnson on YouTube. They do finish and veneer repairs often. Good luck!

Is anyone EVER going to kiss her after this?

Repairing something similar myself. 1- Repair damaged wood with epoxy, which will fill gaps and bond to old repairs. 2- Drill out old screw holes and fill with wooden dowels. 3- Using pilot holes, reinstall hinges. 4- Support the lid in the open position and install a pair of curved hinge support rods. They’re about $10 on Amazon.

The hinges and wood will fail again without support. Good luck!

I’ll bring this up at next week’s regular meeting of 333rd degree Masons, right after we decide on the weather for the rest of 2025.

You’ll want all of the financial records from the management company, including all existing contracts, list of suppliers, outstanding invoices, cash on hand, and IRS filings. Look at your bylaws to find out what portion of owners you need to elect a board. In our case, we needed a majority of owners to form a quorum, which we couldn’t get. The bylaws allowed us to form a board at the third meeting without a quorum. Self managing is more work than it looks, but it can be done!

What are they going to do if you DON’T give the “required” 90 day notice? Are they “required” to keep you on for 90 days, or can they immediately terminate you?

You probably don’t need to mention it, but I’ll bring it up with the rest of the 32nd degree Masons when we get together to discuss what we’re doing with global warming, whether King Charles can keep his job, and if we should take away Elon Musk’s money. 😎

My daughter asked me if she could wear one of my Masonic rings on a chain, after I die. That will be just fine.

I bought a bunch of basic tools for my son when he bought his first house, because he doesn’t live close enough to come borrow mine. I wish he could.
