    HOA Rant, Advice sought...

    If it were me I'd just redo it myself. It could be a bit of a pain because they used those hangar brackets if they used screws. I'd go to a real lumberyard and pick out better quality wood, cut them to length, finish them inside in the warmth, add some sand in the finish for traction and put the new treads on. Of course I have the tools to do such things so no big deal, better than messing with an HOA, imo. But, doing that might be construed as messing with the HOA and cause a whole new set of problems! I'm glad I don't have to deal with one of those soup nazi wanna be committees.

    puke is a good place for him if all the stuff about his dad is true. Still hate losing such an immense talent as him. He may have very well decommitted on his own along the way but it's a crime when parents use their children like that.
  12. Worth mentioning, at the link, the article says he's Aussie and friends with Dante. His dad also is an American who played pro ball in Australia. Anyhow, says Dante is 50/50 on college.
  13. Coach never quits!       ... nor does ccg on keeping us informed!

    HOA Rant, Advice sought...

    You're welcome Natty. As I'm thinking about it, this stuff is all common knowledge (warping) and best practice in the construction trade. I really do think a well presented argument along these lines could get the job re-done, Part Quatre. Having been in the construction trade a long time ago (hs/college summer job/family business) I can tell you that I would have been redoing it on my own time for making such an idiotic mistake. Construction 101 stuff here.    Also, sanding it will only be a temporary solution. It'll just cup again in a year or two, if not sooner.

    Surpringly Good or Step-Back Season?

        It's what I do... :)   btw, my early forecast is pretty much inline with yours. I just don't know nor do I think anyone else really knows how it will all play out. They have the talent, just lots and lots of inexperience on the team. They could surprise us but I'm not holding my breath on it. Hoping though!

    Most likely they installed the steps the wrong direction to the grain. Heart side (center of the tree) up would give a convex to the top surface where the water runs off both directions  (front and back). The incompetent crew (3 times it's still wrong) put the stair treads with the heart side down which creates a concave top surface allowing the water to puddle.     Here's a representation of what I'm talking about.   [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/546/n3ab.jpg/][/URL] Flat sawn wood cups to the opposite direction of the circular grain pattern. You can see this for yourself with a quick trip to the Home Depot in the pressure treated lumber section. Not sure what they use out your way but in the East it's all Southern Yellow Pine which is really bad about doing this. It doesn't matter the species though, all wood behaves this way.      Here's an example of how all construction grade lumber is sawn. It is the most efficient method but not the best method. The areas to the left and right of the center are flat sawn. The very center is called quarter sawn and it doesn't cup at all or very little.    [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/842/1nl9.png/][/URL]   This is why you're puddling.  Perhaps explaining to the HOA that it is indeed not done incorrectly would help resolve the situation. You'd probably need to get a home inspector or contractor on your side on this.

    Surpringly Good or Step-Back Season?

    Yes, it will be either or, or maybe something else. That is my final answer at this early in the season. Too bad if it doesn't meet your answering criteria! ;)
