Bingo Paul

I was told that it would be a wise thing if Paul would stay on and continue calling the numbers for Bingo. Who could we find to replace him? Every Monday he must be there and set up tables long before the game starts, game cards, snack bar, ETC sorry Paul I'm not interested.

Shows at the HFC

I wanted to get Elvis back to do a show at the HFC on March 5 Friday at 7pm Elvis is played by Billy Lambert out of Orlando, and Neil Diamond with Barbara Streisand on Friday Feb 5 @ 7pm Neil Diamond is played by Keith Coleman and Barbara Streisand by his wife Ruby Tuesday out of Pinellas Park, Florida. All monies after expenses will be given to Give Kids The World. Cost of ticket will be a $10.00 donation. This must be voted on by the CDD says Joe Hunter.

Bingo Paul Pontious

Again today, Dec 8, 2009, he goes by my home and shouts Ass Hole to me as I was entering the driveway from his Cream color convertible car. Yesterday he gave me the entire hand plus his finger while I was playing Billiards on Monday night from the hallway at the entrance door, He was seen by another person on the CDD committee , same time as Bingo. One week prior to that on Monday night Nov 30, he was outside by my golf cart has I was about to go home, and again he shouts ass hole to me. What was he doing by my golf cart? Like I said earlier this year he went by my house while he was playing golf and called me a Ass Hole. Is this the only thing he knows and they got this guy in charge of Bingo. It was not me that broke all the rules of Bingo. Why is he blaming me? This guy is ill and should see a shrink.

MX Communications

In our covenants, it says that if you are not happy with the MX, the residents must vote on it or against it and it must be 2/3 of the vote before a Lawyer can be hired to act on it. The HOA can only wait until all the votes come back and be counted. The developer has all the loops and holes covered. He needs the money and it won't be easy. He needs all the residents money and then some, I'm thinking about taking up a collection.

Keep up the good work HOA and don't give up on the MX, remember its the people that voted you in so don't let them down. My opinion on the MX is this is a outright scam.

You people must wake up the the CRF or developer. I wish I could tell you what I think of him but I would get in trouble. If your interested please e-mail me at lakeashtontalk@yahoo.com

Chinese Drywall Problems

All you home owners that have Chinese Drywall in your Home must get together and filed a class action suit against CRF in other words the Developer. Don't waste your time writing to him or calling him. He will not return your phone call or write to you back. You are totally wasting your time in doing this. Unlike Lennar they are dealing with the problem but our developer is not, that is the way he is. After you file the court papers until the time of court he will settle out of court just before court date.

I wrote about this problem a few months ago, but like all Lake Ashton Residents they pay no attention to my website. Wake up and read what is going on and you be better off.

Chinese Drywall Problems

Drywall may be Leaking Potentially Toxic Gases
People in housing developments in Florida, California, Arizona, and other states are concerned over the potential for property damage and health problems resulting from drywall from China that reportedly leaks corrosive chemicals.

Drywall Reports from residents include copper tubing turning black, the failure of air conditioning coils exposed to the drywall, and smells of sulfur.

According to reports, Dan Reid who is with Intuitive Environmental Solutions in Florida, has researched the problem, and suspects that some of the drywall imported from China in 2004 and 2005 was made with waste products taken from scrubbers on coal-fired power plants. Those materials can subsequently off-gas into the atmosphere, and when those gases combine with moisture on air conditioning coils they create sulfuric acid. This in turn, appears to be dissolving solder joints and copper tubing — creating leaks, blackening the coils and even causing the system to fail, he said.

There is also the potential for health problems stemming from breathing airborn sulfuric compounds and the very unpleasant smell.

Chinese Drywall Problems

CHARLOTTE COUNTY: The Southwest Florida real estate market is littered with its fair share of problems.

There is now one more thing that’s making a sale more difficult: Chinese dry wall.

“We don't need anymore obstacles in this market,” said Lisa Levendofsky, realtor at Coldwell Banker in Punta Gorda.

Used widely in the area during the 2004-2005 construction boom, Chinese dry wall can emit sulfide gases which corrodes copper and smells like rotten eggs.

In some cases, when it comes down to signing a contract to sell a new home, real estate agents say Chinese drywall can make or break a deal.

“We show them there could be Chinese dry wall. Buyer beware,” Levendofsky said. “Now we have a disclosure we sign with every contract,” she said.
