| Condominium Rules | ||||
| Be Reasonable is a great guide if you're in the process of writing your associations rules, adding new ones or revisiting existing ones. Less helpful with the really tricky stuff, like how do you handle conflicts in a two- or three-unit condo association and remain on speaking terms with the people living above and below you. But a great resource for basic information and underlying principles of good, enforceable rules. | ||||
| Maintenance and Repair | ||||
| This is an excellent resource on everything you need to know about maintaining your building and unit. Even if you've never lifted a hammer (and don't intend to start now!), this book gives you a clear idea of how everything works (or is supposed to work) and can help you make informed decisions on maintenance and repair issues.

Keep
your laundry room and other common areas clean with a paper towel dispenser.
Amazon has good prices and they deliver. Go here
to find the paper towels to fill it. |

| Amazon is a great place to stock up on the necessities, save the time and energy you'd spend driving around, and save money by buying in bulk. If you spend at least $25, you'll get free shipping! Seventh Generation products have the added advantage of being friendly to the environment! | ||||
| Storage Cabinets | ||||
 |
When you need something to hold cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, whatever ... | |||
| Storage Carts | ||||
 |
We love the idea of keeping things in wicker baskets. It looks organized, but since nobody can look too closely inside, you can just fill them up with junk you don't know what else to do with! And we love Target! | |||
Equipment |
||||
| Cleaning | ||||
| Black and Decker's DustBuster is a handy item for any condo association, for quickly cleaning up common areas between visits by the cleaning people! | ||||
|
Backpack Vacuum! This might seem like overkill for smaller buildings, but if you have lots of stairs, ceiling fixtures or other difficult places to reach, this backpack offers maximum mobility and great coverage. |
||||
| Shoveling | ||||
| If this year's anything like last year (and you live anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line), you're going to need a shovel. Have it delivered right to your door! | ||||
