So as the title says I'm both pissed and excited at the same time. What would you do?
I got an extra bill in for my houseboat, it's a 10 share boat that I own 2 shares on located at Lake Powell. Over the last few years the maintenance fees have gone up but the management company keeps it like new. Last year we got hit with a huge expense when they replaced every kitchen appliance. Now this year I get a bill in that says they found a few soft spots in the roof with a leak so they replaced the entire roof. It's not that that upsets me so much. The other part of the bill gets me, mind you this is above and beyond our normal maintenance and shortfalls, they installed a whole kitchen and bathroom on the top deck. I've liked the ones I've seen and know it's just going to make the boat better, that's my excited part. My pissed off is they didn't ask any of the owners about doing it nor did they tell us it was happening. They just hit us with a large bill at the button up part of the project. I'll attach some pics of last year and the pics they just sent me. They haven't finished the project completely.
To recap the work done on the top deck:
Full roof replacement.
New bathroom, toilet, vanity.
Replace large flybridge with a small helm.
Full kitchen on top deck, cabinets, refrigerator, stove, bar stools, propane.
Screening for top deck.
So $5,350.37 per share and I own 2= $10,700.74. This was a $53,503.70 project, that no one was asked or told about. I know we'll love it but I'm not happy about how this was done. The boat is a 2004. I've owned on this boat since 2007 and started on another boat in 2006.
