Compare my Condo Problems with Jana's

This past winter here in Utah has been a bear! Here it is April and we still have January weather. Today we have a bit of hope...the sun is coming up. I read Jana's blog this morning and thought "She didn't have any problem as big as ours". We had record snowfall and that is the big problem here in our condo association. Our yearly budget was set last November for 2008. In this detailed budget they put in a little extra for snow removal. They budgeted at whopping $20,000 for the snow removal. This is a little above the year before. In fact the year before we even saved a little. Well guess what? This year the cost of our snow removal was $87,000 which if you can add and subtract left us with a $67,000 shortfall. Now to pay for what we already have received (removal of snow) we all have to anti up nearly $900 bucks! And Jana thought she had problems with a lady snoop. On top of all that we have to anti up $4,000 in the next few years for new roofs. So all of us have problems and unfortunately money can't solve all of them. So much for the story of my Chimney Hills saga. Here is picture of what happened all winter long.
