Has anyone had their front porch/step railings repaired or replaced? Ours could use some work, but I'm not sure what kind of business would do it. (It's not just painting, they could use some reinforcing or replacing.) Has anyone had experience with this - good or bad?

There was a message from the HOA management company about that too. If anyone didn't get the message, I suggest you contact Ramin Kordi <RKordi@ghacm.com>, and give him your email address to get on the listserv.

There was a message yesterday (I think) from the management company (I think) saying that due to continuing weather issues the midweek trash pick up was cancelled. The trash and recycling are supposed to be picked up tomorrow, but with the weather forecast, I'm betting it will be Saturday.

Thanks for sharing your experience with insulating your walls. That is on my (medium term) list of things to do. I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience with their wall?

To me, Section 2.14 looks like it just applies to construction material, where storage pods are often used for random junk. Also, Section 2 is for maintenance, and people might not think of them as a maintenance standard. I like the idea of mentioning pods in 2.14 but also putting them back in Secti...

What was the logic behind removing the section on storage pods? It seemed like a useful thing to have in the guidelines.

From what I've observed, the trash folks are very good about picking up trash, but only trash. It seems like they have instructions not to pick up bulk (unless pre-arranged with the company), recycling (even on Tuesdays), or yard waste.
