We Can All Agree: HOA is the Scourge of Society!

Another listener was wondering if it’s wise to use a medallion on an exhaust heater and light combo in his bathroom rather than installing drywall.  The next caller got hit with a $29,000 assessment from her HOA to have her 3x8 balcony resurfaced due to deteriorated wood and potential dry rot. What is the best material to use in this situation? And why is the assessment so high?  To be compliant with California building codes, do you need to install a coldwater electrical groundwire?  Today’s last caller had questions regarding his kitchen remodel countertop – namely, what’s best for the countertop: quartzite, quartz, granite, etc.? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
