Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

Our Association began an upgrade of decks a few years ago. I understand the design was created by our maintenance company, although members of the former board may also have been contributors. As is the case with all things at BLMH, there were a few unit owners who considered our new patio railings to be a waste of money.

However, the board has resisted caving and continues to upgrade to the new style with the current painting cycle.

Our new railings have been copied by a nearby association! Seems someone else sees the merit of the new design.   On the other hand, one of the features which distinguished us no longer does. Ahh, the problems of attempting to be unique. There are other ways, and I'm sure our board will attempt find them. Renters at association meetings? Flea markets this summer? Who knows what the future holds?

  1. Sorry Norm, it is us who copied the other, and also copied the eyebrow and the shed roof.
