I know, I'll paint it pink

As many of you will know, I am the president of the community in which we live in. As any fellow president will appreciate it's a very tough task which is also very time consuming.

One of the main problems I've found is that many people don't understand the concept of a community and how it's supposed to work. Many people still have the mentality that as they've bought their property then they can do whatever the like with it.

From an internal point of view I really don't care what they do, but when they start defacing the exterior then that's a big problem, and totally against the horizontal laws which govern communities in Spain.

The other day I just couldn't believe what one owner has done. They've painted the outside of the apartment in pink! What ever possesses anyone to do that? And pink....the rest of the development is white.

I dispair. Why oh why did I decide to stay as president for another year.

Anyway, that owner has now been sent a nice letter telling him to get his paint brush out again and buy some white paint quickly.

Whatever next? Every week someone decides to do something to the outside of their property and it's tough to keep on top of it.

Let's see what happens this week....I can barely contain the excitement...not!
