[Yppej]

Touched up the paint in the hardware for the cabinets.

Attended another Board of Health meeting.

This weekend I expect to finish cutting down plants for winter.

ETA - Walked four times.

Here is my progress on my list:

Make last trip to parents' house and go through the whole house with knowledge this is my last chance.
Done

Go visit my grandson.
Done

Finish sanding and repainting side of the house.
Husband paid someone who did it, looks great

Make a workable budget for two scenarios--this house and new house.
not started

Complete accounting to house repairs etc on this house as will need to pay taxes on any profit if we sell it.
not started

There was more on there--am teaching four classes, so I guess I'm doing that one. It's too early to think much about Christmas and I won't do that until December, which is winter in my book.

Tybee it sounds like the harder stuff is done.

Yes, that is a good thing to realize, helps me.

Have her supply white or off-white liners for all the ones that offend her.

This reminds me of why I don't like congregate living in general, even though that's likely looming in my future.

So far I have walked every day this week.

Celebrated one birthday. Finished buying birthday gifts and bought Christmas gifts for two people.

[Teacher Terry]

I have owned 3 condos and all had the rule that what shows to the outside is white or cream.

[JaneV2.0]

My blinds were brown. No complaints.
I suppose it varies.

[iris lilies]

My condo where I dont even live yet has no rules on curtains. Windows must be brown. My unit has original windows and I do not plan to replace them, but hope to reglaze and refurbish within the next two years.

I like your proposal. The complainer should have to be the one to go around and explain it too. They just want "somebody else" to do it.

In NC, when the area gentrified, people started to complain (and it made the newspapers) about upholstered furniture seen on porches as they thought it was low class. Note this was previously rural property and often people were sitting and waving at passing cars.

We had a new condo owner complain to the neighborhood group about the "look" of the townhouse across the street. Note that we had no power and it was private property in the inner city. It was also owned by a City/County councilman.

In a certain retirement location in Florida, issues like this make the newspaper. The rules are so rigid and there are so many looking for infractions.

I can understand safety issues, rat issues, animal noise issues (police are called for screams), etc. But unless the "petty" rules are rigid and clear, anything else is eye rolling.
