Several homeowners have asked, “Why do I need to sign the “Written Consent to Amend?” What difference does it make?"
It will be a whole lot less expensive if you and everyone signs the “Written Consent to Amend” form. At some point in the future, probably sometime after we have finished re-roofing the last of the fifteen roofs, we will begin to replace all the windows. It will be much less expensive if we have them all done at once, one building at a time, one (or two) building per year, similar to the way we are contracting to have the roofs installed, compared to if an individual homeowner would have them installed. We will be getting a group rate; this will help keep the dues down. Almost all of the dryrot which has been discovered has been found near or around the windows. According to the several contractors who have either made dryrot repairs or attempted dryrot repairs [some repairs, despite more than one contractor working on them, have not been successful, and complete window replacement has been necessary], this fact is due to poor building practices in the 1970’s, poor installations, poor caulking in these areas, and poor and inadequate (not painting enough throughout the years) painting jobs.
