HOA meeting
Apparently the HOA meeting wasn't a bunch of complaining like I thought it was going to be. Wait back up, in case some of you don't know, I live in a condo. It isn't a big complex (there are 18 units I think) but it is built on a flood zone. They said that the area used to be wetland but they put a bunch of fill dirt down and built upon it. Last year we put some flood vents in and this year they are going to replace the gutters. They are not sloped properly and are sagging. They tend to fill up and overflow, this doesn't help the sagging part. The ones on the garages have a line where the water drips off. I didn't know this was a problem but apparently if the water doesn't drain right it can flow under the foundation. They say this is bad, I don't know how bad does anyone know? But all the officers were wanting to replace the gutters this year.

Bad! Water bad! Proper drainage good!
I like the new music!
yea...it can wear away your foundation causing slumping, cracks, errosion, and if the water sits in your crawl space / or basement or gets on your joists, it can cause mold - definately worth the $$!!
Yeah, one of the guys said that there is an area of the lawn near the end that you always sink in to your ankles.
At our previous house we had gutter problems. In the morning, after a big rain storm, we would sometimes walk into our closet and soak our socks. We quickly learned that we needed to check to make sure the gutters were clean and working properly before the rainy season. Doesn't mean we didn't have the problem more than once though. NOT FUN!
