I Didn't Know That...

Saw this info at Tremco's website...an article about roof fire classifications...
"Tremco has an in-house, fire test laboratory which is capable of testing products to either ASTM E108 or UL 790 test criteria. This in-house laboratory testing apparatus is so accurate and its test procedures so rigorous that it is the only roofing material manufacturer's test laboratory at which UL will confer a UL 790 classification."

Balcony Repair Dispute With HOA - Who is Responsible? Interesting Thread on Balcony Maintenance and Repair in an HOA Dispute

Found this discussion from earlier this year at ExpertLaw.com...my thought is the HOA should always maintain balconies and pay for their resealing, repairs and repalcement from reserves and operating accounts. NEVER have homeowners do the maintenance, it usually won't happen and then there's a big mess. Read on...

Balcony Repair Dispute With HOA - Who is Responsible

"My question involves a condominium located in the State of: CA

I'm having a dispute with both the HOA Board and Property Management Co. regarding who should repair the balcony in the HOA condo complex I live in, in Los Angeles. I am the tenant/Power of Attorney for Homeowner.

In Sept. 2011 I noticed soft spots near the ledge. Water pools all along the balcony floor about 1 foot out from ledge after every rain, it does not drain properly, and rain falls on the balcony (I believe improperly, possibly due to roof or gutter issues, we have roof fixes/replacement on to do list for complex). I immediately reported it to the Broker, who is also an HOA Board member (also telling the Homeowner, and the Property Management Co., a different one at the time than the one we have now). CC&R's say Homeowner responsible for "exterior surfaces" of balcony while HOA responsible for everything else."

Fiberon Proposed Settlement Notice

Fiberon is proposing to settle a class action against it...here's the details so if you need to take action you can. No hint of irony with their slogan vs why they are  settling. 

In all the years I've been around, I've not seen any solid surface Division 7 decking systems be recalled...so consider that too when looking at composite decking vs a solid surface deck. Find out more at www.deckexpert.com

From Lloyds-A Burning Issue

"Catastrophic wildfire losses are on the rise, but it's not just property insurers that are expected to bear the brunt of future claims. According to a new report from Lloyd's, insurers across several lines of business are warned to be mindful of their exposures, and are reminded that they have an important role to play in mitigating future wildfire risk.

US wildfires cost the US insurance market $595m in 2012 alone, and according to a new report from Lloyd's - Wildfires: A Burning Issue for Insurers? – insurers can expect losses to increase. Globally, wildfires have caused $52.3bn in economic losses since 1984, the report says, and the US – one of the countries hit most frequently by wildfire catastrophes – experienced losses of $28.5bn between 1980 and 2011."
