Grrrr!

We are repaired. The electrician figured which wire from our panel was running to the garages, and moved that wire to power our individual garage. His boss told him to charge me a lower rate. The Association maintains that it is the individual owners responsibility to pay for getting the wiring straightened out.

I'm going to be reading the association manual very carefully, and I'm going to the January Board Meeting. At the bare minimum, the Association should be coordinating the repair and spreading the cost out among the eight owners in the building. And if it turns out to be original build work, the association should pay to repair it. I'll be hanging onto the receipt from today.

Here's my take... I know you're breathlessly awaiting it...

Regardless, you'll end up paying for it. Follow my logic. If you don't pay for it individually, the assoc. will pay for all of them to be "fixed" and they'll raise your fees to pay for the repairs... At this point the question is which alternative is more cost effective for you...?

Good luck with the battle and I hope it turns out well for you. Enjoy your cookies... Much love - MOI

I ended up writing the guy a check, because he fixed my problem and got my electricity back on my circuit breaker. The electrician and company didn't charge me for the full time he was here under the theory of, this was partly an association problem. The association will probably come back and have the electrician come in and fix all the wiring, and then divide the cost up among the eight owners in our building, which seems fair me.

double hmmm
