Just talked to the office and apparently there was a Sm all leak from early this morning that has now turned into a huge leak. No one has water and the management has no idea when it will come back on. The mgmt. will be sending out a phone notice about the leak soon.......FYI mgmt. - If owners are calling the office about no water, the phone message is a Day late and Dollar short.

I just do not understand, we recently replaced many frozen gate-valves in SLR's water pipe system. So if we have a water leak on Wood Ruff Way, which is a 360 degree circle. Why in the world do we turn off the water supply to the whole community? I would think Wood Ruff Way could have been isolated, by turning off 1 or 2 gate-valves, in the roadway. If the maintenance dept. is not going to use these gate-values, to isolate water pipe repairs. Then we have wasted thousands of dollars, by replacing the old valves that were frozen open. If our maintenance dept. does not have the knowledge to isolate main water supply pipes, maybe place a call to the 20+ yr. maintenance person, who was terminated. He knows how to isolate the water supply on each street, I think he was the person, who would make suggestions to the foreman, on what to do. SLR's way to isolate water now is just shut down the well pump. There is a better way to handle these emergency water pipe break issues. :-( ;-( :-(

The mange aka IT (SLR Manager) has hit a new low by stopping workers from coming for 2 different owners.
HEY YOU...OWNERS...listen up:
You are a property owner, a private property owner, until mange and BOD start paying your taxes and your dues, they have NO rights to kick people off your property.
Let me repeat it so you get it: Until mange and the BOD start paying your taxes and your dues, they have no say or rights about kicking people off your property!
Mange is acting like a property leasing manager when in fact she is NOT!. She is here to manage the common areas and should be lead by the BOD, but the BOD has allowed her to run amuck and now is acting outside her limits and thinks she can BULLY you about who can come in and work on your property. This has to stop! You need to face up to her and tell her straight out that she doesn't own the land your house is on and has no say about who can come in to your property!
DO NOT LET HER BULLY YOU or your elderly neighbor (as she has done in the past - first hand knowledge of one account)

The Mange has NO AUTHORITY whatsoever to stop any kind of work that owners have a Polk County permit for. If the Mange wants to fight after the fact, that's another matter. But, owners must stand up and CHOOSE not to be bullied by this person. She has NO AUTHORITY to prevent your contractor from being your guest on your private property. Stop cowtowing to this person! Call the Sheriff and show your deed and permit. Sheriff will not intercede in an HOA dispute. Sheriff will only tell IT that your contractor is your guest and she cannot prevent your guest from being on your property. Sheriff will then return to station and, at shift change, advise other officers that the people at S-bag are nuts.
There was a very recent lawsuit in Florida by a Seminole HOA trying to prevent contractors and guests of a resident from entering the property and the HOA lost the lawsuit BIG TIME! I am awaiting news of the money award to the owner...
Miraculously, the Board managed to pass a rule allowing carports. There were NO specifications
Correction: I was just reminded there were some general specs on the Information Sheet which I had completely forgotten about:
I was told by attorney that the full text of amendments and rules had to be included on the Ballot since that is what the recorded document would refer to in the event of future questions; information sheets were not sufficient to permit owners to vote in a fully informed manner and document the ballot. That is now REQUIRED in Condo law, but HOA law does not yet REQUIRE the full text language to be on the Ballot. But, the above would reasonably be what owners should observe.
described in the carport rule. This means that as long as you have a Polk County permit for your carport, you are in compliance with county code and SLohA has no interest in your carport design, construction, placement etc. If the Rules committee was doing its job, it would have spent some of those "hundreds of hours" putting together specifications for carports detailing location, height, depth, materials and other construction specs. But, it chose to propose a general, bare-bones rule i.e. "carports allowed" without any limitations. Maybe next year they will like to add some detail... In the meantime, it is Open House on carports! And IT has NO RIGHT to stop work on permitted carports! IT STILL has no authority to stop work on permitted carports. She can duke it out after the fact with owners but cannot stop work.
And another thing--MANGE has NO RIGHT to pass judgement on permitted manufactured home designs. The Covenants do not permit manufactured homes, so they are here at the sufferance of BOD. BOD is violating covenants by permitting manufactured homes (or trailers and permanent accessory structures) to be sited on SLR lots. BOD cannot restrict anything beyond setback and easements on placement of these structures. There ARE no Rules that can be lawfully adopted for manufactured homes (or any structure not on wheels) because they are not permitted by the Covenants! The same is true for roofovers on mobile homes and trailers. As long as Polk County issues a permit, IT is SOL. End of Story!

What was the big Brew-HA-HA that happened this morning at the new house going in on Silversides? Heard Mange dialed 911 and got a talking to due to it not being an emergency and then the security guard cursed at the workmen there and vowed they would NOT get in tomorrow. What is wrong with people today? Can't you all act like the grown ups you are suppose to be and NOT like First Graders?!?!? Just let the women have there house done already. Seriously, is it going to kill someone to have it facing like the owners want?

A Lot of Traffic on Silver-Side Today. I even notice our ex-president drive by, to take a peek. Rumor is that 2 more units are on Order with Front Porches. Talk is when they bring them in the Park, the units will be towed backwards. So the front porch will be out-back!!!!

First off, the Board of Directors DO NOT make rules and regulations, WE AS A COMMUNITY VOTE ON THEM.
Behr Premium Plus is the most expensive paint on the shelf and to buy a gallon is a waste of money because you only use less than a quart to paint the trash stump and the power pole.
I went to XXXXXXX and bought 1 (one) can of XXXXXX Brown Gloss and used the entire can to paint my stump and power pole. The cost of one can of XXXXXX paint @ XXXXXXX---->$ 3.67(plus tax) The cost of knowing the truth and not getting manipulated by MANBOD-------> PRICELESS!

With the money I saved on paint I can afford a premium import in bottles and have change left over.
after all, being retired means being frugal and NOT wasting money on foolish items like expensive paint for a garbage can.
