Home Association...Has It's Moments.

Over the past month and a half or so, Fiona and I (mainly Fiona) has been trying to get the property management to come and fix our gate. Apparently movement on the ground has shifted our gate to not close and latch itself. It has been a combination of phone tag and the inability to reach anyone who deals with property damage. Plus when Fiona did get a hold of the people they seemed to be somewhat incompetent. I originally had a lock on the gate but I had removed it in place of the stock knob (no lock). Well the person from management called and left a message (one of many) saying that there was a person that had came down to look at it but the gate was locked. Either the lady is lying or the guy who came down to look at it looked at the wrong house. Late last week Fiona bumped into our neighbor. In my last post of dealing with Home Owner Association, we haven't had the greatest experience with him. Anyways he asked us if were trying to get our gate fixed and Fiona explained our situation. Later that day we got a call from the Property management saying that they received a call from our neighbor and the next day they had someone out working on our gate. In a matter of two days, everything was done. They put some spacers, a new doorknob, and repainted (or retouched up) the gate. I guess our neighbor isn't as bad as we thought. Still though, that's what we're paying for right?
