I hope you all saw or read about the resolution the VHA announced in The Daily Sun.

It basicaly says that the devloper has agreed to reimburse the costs of premature line set failures and extend the warranty on this failure. The form to accomplish this is available on www.thevillages.net.

This is an issue that I discovered in 2009 in my patio villa area and with the help of Bill Gotschalk (chair of VHA district 6), gave to the VHA for their assistance in resolving.

It took longer than expected and I lost my patience many times with the progress but I have to applaud the VHA and Mark Morse for stepping up and doing the right thing. My apologies to to the VHA for my impatience. I'm a retired businessman and not used to bureaucratic resolvement of issues.

My favorite answer to people who ask me "how do you like living in The Villages"? is "There is no place else in this world that I would rather be".

Now that this issue is over, I'm looking forward to working with crime watch to eliminate unscrupulous service company's flim flamming homeowners. This is another story for another time.

Good luck to all who obtain reimbursement on the HVAC issue. Maybe the check will be in time for Christmas shopping.
