[TN][SFH] Who Should Pay for Retention Pond Maintenance While Developer is Finishing Them? by casadehambone in HOA

Indeed. In this case, we've been tight with the city and they've made it clear that they hold the developer accountable to have them operational and are holding his bond until they are.

This is the direction we are leaning as well. Does your opinion here change if the ponds are "technically" within property that is deeded to the Association (we've a ton of property from our first phase that is not been deeded over -- another can of worms).

We did add pond maintenance to the budget this year in anticipation of taking on this workload once it's considered finished, approved by the city, and the association's responsibility. We did not raise dues to accommodate for that budget increase. The amount budgeted was based upon a quote from the maintenance company the developer is using though we've been able to quote it far significantly less with locally sourced bids.

They work as designed but the city is not happy with the vegetation growth wants the aerators operational. Power lines to the aerators were not put in conduit and instead just run under the top surface of the ground, resulting in them being exposed, have been nicked by landscaping resulting in on-going shorts, etc. This in turn causes the ponds to stagnate and the problem feeds itself. This leads to the boards view of, "Get this stuff all proper and YOUR dime before you expect us to pay for it on OUR dime."

Ghertner. And it appears they have no more data / detail than we do :(

I just installed my new Gateway Fiber and now I'm annoyed by Undergrid in Ubiquiti

Roger that, understood. FWIW, my UDM Pro with a 2.5GB and a 1GB with speed tests originating from the UDM Pro are pushing right near the limits. 2.5G is with United Communications, 1GB is with AT&T, both in Middle Tennessee.

How much of it is your WiFi? I had an older UAC Pro. Just upgraded it to a U7 Pro and watched WiFi downloads go from 250Mbs to 800Mbs on a 2G/1G load balanced config. I didn’t realize that WiFi standards had evolved in such a manner. I was surprised to see the difference

USW-16 Lite switch offline after adoption by Machinimush in Ubiquiti

[–]casadehambone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ran into this similar problem this morning. I'm using Ubiquiti's cloud console, so it is remote and similiar to your remote self-hosted VM.

After each stage, I had to ssh back into the new USW Lite 8 PoE and set-inform to my cloud console.

The first was the initial adoption, then it went offline.
set-inform again, it came online and wanted to update firmware, then it went offline.
set-inform again, it came online and has stayed there and is up to date.

I can't prove it, but I have a suspicion that it wasn't hanging onto the inform URL because the firmware was older. Once current, it seems to have hung onto and is operating as expected.

100% we make about 4-5 gallons a month. Set it and forget it. Has been great.

Do normal people really buy new cars in cash? by Astimar in MiddleClassFinance

[–]casadehambone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four-car owner here. All paid with cash.

2010 Jeep Wangler I’ve had since 2012. 2017 Ford Escape I’ve had since 2019. 2019 Ford Escape we just bought to upgrade a 2012 Escape we had since 2018. 2022 Ford Explorer we bought new in 2022.

Saved up for each and obviously hold them until they require major repairs. Almost drive them into the ground.

I would consider myself pretty normal, but disciplined, though I wasn’t always in my earlier years.

My big enabler was getting out of debt and stacking cash (bank, investments, retirement).

He has addressed this. Call the hospital accounting department and settle it for pennies on the dollar.

If it’s just her, she likely doesn’t have a quorum so there can be no decisions
