[200William-EC] Your apartment renovations and your EC responsiblities

[CSCL]

Absolutely brilliant Shane.  Shame on your Jason.

 

I think you may have also missed responding to us all about your contractors
using the common property electricity in order to cut materials for your
apartment.  Should we blame Jason for that as well?

 

And the lift carpets.  Hmmm.  Perhaps if we'd all received a schedule which
was accurate we wouldn't have had to live with elevators which ended up
looking like the garbage room.  It only took someone (me) to get your
contractors to put something down on their floors...and also from the front
entry way of 401 through to the left doors.  Again...only trying to reduce
overall costs and maintain the building.  After all, it appears that ther
are only a couple of owners (who live in the building) who continue to keep
an eye on as much as possible on a regular basis.

 

Regards,

Craig

HI Craig, 

 

I mentioned to my construction manager that I would replace carpets if they
were damaged by the renovation. As agreed, and damage to common area would
be repaired by myself, but ultimately the carpet replacement was driven by
yourself, midway through renovation. I assumed this was in preparation for
the charity function, and nothing to do with the renovation. 

 

re Recycling; I always recycle. I share your belief that we should all
recycle. re explanation of yesterdays incident, and the garbage image you
attached, I offer below:

Last night we had Annettes cousin (Jason Kwan) over for dinner. Jason has
been CC;d to this email.

When Jason left after dinner, Annette handed him 2 bags - General Garbage,
and Recycling - and asked him to deposit in the bins, on his way out at
Level E. 

Jason is a highly intelligent young man, with all of the moral sensitivities
one should expect in an evolved and successful young Eastern Suburbs male,
so I am very surprised that the recycling bag ended up in the general waste
bin.... Shame on you Jason... Tut-Tut. I don't want to chastise Jason too
much, because knowing Jason, as I do, to be a lovely man. I must assume that
this was simply a matter of absent-mindedness (unfamiliar setting, perhaps)
and nothing to do with any malicious intent toward the Environment. 

 

>From now on, I will request that Annette dispense with the practice of
having guests remove garbage on their way out. (I find the practice uncouth
anyway, and generally against the spirit of Hosting). I should certainly
hope that this will avoid any further eco-terrorism. 

As I am sure you must be aware, this would be a first and only transgression
of the recycling issue, an anomaly, and I believe it should be viewed in
such a context.

Shane,

 

For weeks we have put up with all your garbage/trash in the P4 level car
park and you have been asked repeatedly by George Ziri to move it (finally
some of it was moved yesterday). 

 

Approximately one week ago, I  saw your workers abusing the by-laws by using
electricity on level P4 for their electric saws to cut materials, for your
apartment renovation.  As a result, dust now covers a lot of the floor area
and cars on P4.

 

We replaced the carpets in each of the elevators because your contractors
simply wouldn't put down protective coverings in either lift during your
renovations, nor on your level 4 lobby carpets (I had to ask them to put
something floor covering down from your apartment to the lifts to try and
protect the carpets).  Your contractor Cameron, in fact, advised me that you
were going to replace the elevator carpets at the end of your refurbishment.
However, you haven't even mentioned that to anyone on the EC.....and we have
ended up jointly paying for the replacement carpets.

 

There are several of us on the EC who really work hard to try and maintain
the building and reduce overall costs.  It might seem strange to you, but as
an example, I frequently go down to the garbage room because I am amazed at
the number of people who simply don't care about recycling.  The recycling
issue has become such a problem that a month ago another notice was sent out
to all tenants/owners to recycle as much as possible (see attached).  I
personally put two of these notices up on the garbage room wall.

 

This morning I was simply stunned and extremely disappointed, during one of
my regular "recycling visits" to the garbage room, to find a bag filled with
empty glass bottles, in one of the "regular" garbage bins.  Your name was on
a piece of correspondence (please see attached picture).

 

Shane, we have a responsibility, as members of the EC, to set an example for
the owners/tenants of Marquis, to maintain the building and reduce costs, to
the best of our abilities.   It seems to me that you simply don't care
anymore about what happens in our building.  Please, either set that example
yourself or consider not to serve on the EC anymore.

 

Sincerely,

Craig Laforest

Apartment 601
