Just before the Holidays, I made a fateful error involving water and my condo unit.
While attempting to accomplish several
household tasks at once, I inserted the plug in my laundry soaking tub
and turned on the hot water. I am
given to not being very patient and have physical and psychological needs to multitask. The solitary task of
watching water run and slowly fill a sink drives me crazy so I automatically
looked around to see what else I could
accomplish. I loaded the washing machine, emptied the dryer and carried the
laundry basket into our bedroom to begin folding and sorting items. Feeling satisfied that I had completed this
mundane household task, I turned on the television and promptly fell into a
deep slumber which was interrupted at 2:00 AM when the ceiling tiles in the
basement began crashing to the
floor. There is an old saying in the
construction world that “water always wins”. Believe it. The companion mantra
we have in the management world is, “insurance is the most important facet we
deal with for our associations”. My
minor error in multitasking has taken nearly 3 months to rectify but with the
help of a great insurance company and repair and reconstruction company, the
end is in sight.
My issue and many more will be discussed and evaluated in
light of the master insurance coverage at our Tuesday, April 9, 2012 evening
seminar. Plan to come to the Taylor Rd.
office to work together on this most important topic. We are also going to cover issues of fraud,
fidelity bonds and management tools to control theft. It looks to be a busy evening. Hope to see you in attendance.
