THE CURRENT SITUATION AT OUR POOLS

YES---THERE IS SOME EXISTING PROBLEMS AT OUR 3 POOLS!

At the last board meeting,--there were comments made to Priscilla about unknown persons coming in and using our resident pools. She suggested that residents contact Fairways Watch for violations.

  I spoke up and agreed to help remedy the situation,---IF---she would agree to give me in writing, authorization to sign ''no trespass'' orders under the OCSO arrangement.

 Priscilla immediately agreed.
 Yesterday ,our manager contacted the HOA president and rescinded the offer to give any authorization to Fairways Watch. Priscilla, instead instructed the residents to call management!
 SO!--- Please do---contact Ed Dow cell phone at 407 408 6992 or Priscilla cell phone at 407 770 9016 !
  I would like to share a few past experiences that we have had in the past,that resulted in requesting some written authority from management.
  Some time back, on a Saturday afternoon---we received several calls from residents, concerning a disturbance at the Westchester. upon arriving---it was  chaos!---A total of about 6 rental residents and Deerwood relatives had taken over the pool.They were even putting a small dog in the water. All of the other residents had literally been chased out. One of the drunken ''participants'', informed me that they were not leaving because they had been in the park for years, and knew their rights!
 They would not listen to my request---so---I called 911 and requested assistance from the Orange County Sheriff.In short order 2 units responded. I knew one of the officers, Deputy Jeff Brown-- he demanded that the entire party leave the pool area immediately.
 One ''party person'' was so drunk that he could not stand, let alone walk.----so---Deputy Brown called for paramedics to remove the person on a lift.---where he ended up I do not know.
 I asked for an OCSO no tress-pass order against the non- residents. The officer explained that I needed an authorization form to sign for HTA---of which I had not.
  On the following Monday, I sent a complete report of the event to Priscilla, with names and and the renters address. I also asked If I could get an ok to sign no tress- pass forms.
 Priscilla at that time declined to give me a permit to sign.----No comment on the Westchester party.
One more of numerous amenity questionable ventures. About a week ago--we got a call concerning repeated visits to our exercise room by a young lady.
 I went to the Westchester room,--and sure enough--there was a very young lady ,sweating up a storm. I asked if she lived in the park?  No she replied--BUT--her grandmother lived in here and that made it ok to use our equipment.
  DOES IT MAKE IT OK?---for young outsiders come in and wear out expensive equipment that our rent pays for?----GOOD QUESTION!
It is useless for myself or anyone to try to establish any ''law and order'' with NO AUTHORITY or support from HTA.
Even Barney had one bullet!

There is another issue that sometimes confronts  residents that does not involve the ''outsiders''.
 The beloved old comedian, Gorge Gobel---once said ,and I quote---"I have never been drunk--but I have often been over-served'' ----This statement could fit into situations sometimes found around the Masters pool.
There have been complaints from pool users involving, intoxication with loud profanity, and even attempted abusive ''bullying'' from other residents.
  The copied Florida statute below, should correct the above problem,if it was enforced by local management!

The 2015 Florida Statutes

Title XLVI CRIMES Chapter 856  DRUNKENNESS; OPEN HOUSE PARTIES; LOITERING; PROWLING; DESERTION View Entire Chapter 856.011 Disorderly intoxication.— (1) No person in the state shall be intoxicated and endanger the safety of another person or property, and no person in the state shall be intoxicated or drink any alcoholic beverage in a public place or in or upon any public conveyance and cause a public disturbance. (2) Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. IF ANY RESIDENTS ENCOUNTER POOL OR AMENITY PROBLEMS--TAKE PRISCILLA'S ADVICE AND USE THE ABOVE LISTED NUMBERS!

NO CRIME FREE RECORD THIS TIME!

TWO REPORTED BURGLARIES ON FIRESTONE
  A young Sheriff Deputy, spent sometime Saturday evening,--writing two burglary reports for the 14500 block of Firestone. The 14500 block is close to the Pebble Beach intersection.
 There were similarities to both crimes.Both entries were to unlocked storage sheds and both losses were primarily tools.  The exact date of one of the losses is unknown,--the other was believed to be April 30.
  The Fairways would have celebrated our one year, anniversary of a ''no lost property'' report year, next month.
 At our sheriffs security meeting Thursday evening, --the C.I.D.[criminal investigation division] sector 2 officer presented an excellent presentation on burglaries and the relation of such to narcotic use.
 It is believed that at least 80% of thefts are tied directly to ''dopers''.
 We spent a good bit of time last evening with Deputy Snavely. This deputy was one of the officers hired to patrol the Fairways, back during our burglary crisis last year. This officer only works our sector 2 and knows  our 22A area well.
  Our security program was held last Thursday afternoon and evening. Deputy Conner said that the number of visitors afternoon exhibit trailer tour was the best he had ever had!
 However the evening attendance should have been better. The program was announced for over 2 months in advance, in every media available in the Fairways.
 It is almost ironical that all facets of these thefts were discussed at our meeting---even right down to the possible ''pawn shop'' factors!
WE MIGHT ALSO NOTE---IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS SINCE WE HAVE HAD OPERATING GATES!----WHY?
 The tennis courts have been REWORKED again, for ''pickle ball''--who no one Knows how to play---[bringing in teachers]----would not the funds be better spent on GATE SECURITY?

THEY WILL BE HERE FOR US!

THIS THURSDAY EVENING AT THE MASTERS
                          7 PM

Please plan to spend some time with the GOOD GUYS ! 
The orange county sheriff will have a great exhibit and program that will interest and inform everyone. The subjects discussed will range from burglaries--scams and economic crimes, to the narcotics problem.
Plan to take a walk through tour of the sheriff's trailer.---Guaranteed you will learn and see items available no where else.

 A concerned resident had several of the pictured T shirt printed up. Some people may find that this picture and T shirt to be ''politically incorrect''---so be it--that is their problem --but not the problem for the majority of Fairways residents.

 Just yesterday--the governor signed an aid bill for families that have lost law officers in the line of duty. The act is named after Deputy Pine from the Orange County Office.---May the good Deputy, rest in peace,--now that his small children have some security.

PLEASE PLAN TO COME BY AND MEET WITH THE OFFICERS-- THEY ARE A GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS AND GALS

WE HAVE GOT AN UPDATE FROM DFC CONNER---THE NARCOTICS OFFICER WILL PRESENT AN EDUCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM ON OUR NEW PROJECTED BIG SCREEN!

A BIG MEETING WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE

The annual Fairways Watch law enforcement meeting will be held Thursday evening April 28-- 7PM. at the Masters!

Deputy Dfc Conner

              Over the years ,Fairways Watch has brought educational, law enforcement programs intended for all residents in our community. This year with our new crime prevention officer, Dfc Conner--we may have the best and most inclusive gathering yet!
 Last week our final planning and layout meeting was conducted at the Masters. The planning is of follows---in early afternoon, the OCSO exhibit trailer will be brought into place, in a designated area of the Masters parking lot. This interesting display is scheduled to open for residents viewing after 3 PM. The 40 ft trailer is air conditioned and handicap accessible.
In the display along with security suggestions and safety items will be---confiscated weapons --narcotics sample displays, and many other items of interest. Operating the unit will be Dfc Conner. You will find this veteran officer a very informed, outwardly friendly man ,--who loves to ''chat'' with every one---YOU WILL LIKE AND ENJOY HIM!
 When evening rolls around,---more special sheriff's officers will arrive for the inside presentations, covering areas of personal interest for the Fairway.
 Included in their presentation will be---a narcotics agent, burglary detective and a officer addressing ''ECONOMIC CRIMES''--scams--financial thefts!
Captain Garrison, commander of Sector 2 has also been invited.
After the presentation, the officers will be available for personal questions and conversations with the residents.
 We are trying to cover the main crime areas for the prevention of problems directed to our area of East Orange County.
An example of why we selected the narcotics subject!

 This picture, depicts a problem in our community!

A short time back, an observant Fairways Watch helper,found this small packet,on a street, near a driveway.The resident picked up the envelope and called Fairways Watch. --We both agreed, as being suspicious of the contents. Fairways Watch immediately called our narcotics Sargent, in regards to the item. An officer was quickly dispatched to test and pick up the envelope. YEP!----it tested strong positive for ''crystal meth'' 

It's proof positive that stuff is in here!---That is why we are asking all residents to watch and help the sheriff's people.

ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS SPENDING A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY TO SPONSOR THIS PROGRAM FOR THE FAIRWAYS!

IN ORDER TO CONTINUE THIS TYPE OF PROGRAMS---WE NEED YOUR ATTENDANCE---PLEASE ATTEND AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE!

BINGO IS BACK---AND IT'S LEGAL

AN OLD FAIRWAYS AMENITY WAS ALMOST                                  LOST!

LOOK AT THAT BIG DISPLAY AND ALL OF THE OPERATING TV SCREENS!

As most residents know ,--after the renovation of the masters,our old BINGO system was not usable with the new electronics installed by Hometown.

 Although HTA offered a new digital bingo system, it was ruled illegal by Florida law.

SO---back to the drawing boards!--Mike and Lynn Englehart, spent a lot of time and energy to work with a Tampa gaming company, in order to reconfigure part of our old equipment.

Everything was done in the PROPER way---a cost of $2500 was required to modify some of the older salvaged equipment. 

 The needed money was properly explained to all residents in detail and a advertised vote was scheduled for our HOA meeting, April 7. 

 The appropriation for the expenditure was passed by a vote of 128 for and 10 against!

FOLKS THIS IS THE WAY OUR HOA SHOULD OPERATE---OUT IN THE OPEN--UP FRONT--NOTHING HELD BACK!

OUR SYSTEM WORKS---WHEN PROPERLY INTRODUCED,AND EXPLAINED TO ALL RESIDENTS!

A special thanks to Mike and lynn---these folks put in endless hours for our Eagle---and now brought back an old institution.

Watch for the announcement of the first bingo  Wednesday under the new system. There may be some time needed for learning how to use this great improvement.

SOME RAYS OF SUNSHINE---WITH MORE WAYS TO COMMUNICATE!

Our 2016 HOA board is working with ways to improve communications within the community.
 Below you will find photo's of one new avenue.

The purpose of these ''alert'' boards are to be used for several important purposes--such as special meetings--[as above]--or situations like ''BOIL WATER''

Shortly our new information FHAOI web site will be on line

A special word about the sign above with the meeting notice.

This resident HOA meeting will be extremely important to every homeowner. Since a filing of a court case by our FHAOI, against HTA,-- there has been all forms of information dispersed out into the community. Much of this information was here-say and some of it was inaccurate. In order to BEST inform the residents,--our attorney, Daniel Perry,--will be appearing in person to talk and respond and answer the questions posed by you the residents.---''NO HOLDS BARRED'' !

 Advance questions written and given to our Randy Muehl,--will be given preference!-- We would expect good manners and courtesy extended to Attorney Perry.

Folks---this is the type of meeting that should be-- EVERYTHING--UP FRONT--NO UN-ANNOUNCED CLANDESTINE MEETINGS''

 I as a board member, can only speak for myself,--no other member.---BUT-- I will never attend an un advertised ''private'' HOA meeting.--Some may argue that there are technical legal reasons permitting such meetings--but in my humble, personal opinion I find closed meetings improper.

Another important item on the agenda is our old beloved Bingo game!

There are funds needed to bring back our LEGAL form of Bingo.The amount is said to be $2500-- All details will be explained by residents that are well informed on the Bingo situation.

COME ONE--COME ALL--BE INFORMED--NOT CONFUSED!

WHERE IS THE GATE?

        YES---WHERE IS OUR DAMN GATE?

The above question is not only being asked by the good residents,---but probably by the interested prospective buyers!
During the week before last, the newly hired grass cutting firm ,carelessly damaged our outbound gate,with their trailer while leaving the park!---[have not been back since]
 One might believe that a new contractor and their insurance company would act in a timely manner.
 We would also think that it is an extra burden for the sales people to explain the existing condition of our entrance area.----A ''premier community'' with 7 new unsold $100 K homes and nearly $700 lot rents,---that would be a hard enough sell,---without the non working, busted gates!
 During this past week, we have seen countless ''drive arounds'' all over the park--just ''gawkers'' and curiosity people.----Hopefully there were not any bad intentions among them.
Until a form of common sense monitoring of the entrance area,---there will be continued,damage, insecurity and vandalism at the gates!
 About three years ago ,--- Fairways Watch did an extensive study of our gates.The work was done along with some residents, eleven security equipment vendors, and a deputy sheriff.
A brief outlay of our suggestion is outlined above.
The system would have been remotely monitored by a live attendant. Visitors would be recorded, greeted and identified by the system. Residents could quickly enter in the right lane with an installed bar code sticker on their window. The double gates were so designed as to prevent ''tailgating''
 The monthly cost would be comparable or less than the ''Barney Fife'' attendants batted about by HTA.
 We mailed a 13 page detailed description of our suggestion to HTA Chicago----''thanks but no thanks''
 Remember the old 1960's TV shoe---''FATHER KNOWS BEST''---thats the HTA attitude!
 CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG----Not one member of our top and local management, has ever slept ONE night in the Fairways community!

THE ''IRS SCAM'' IS ACTIVE IN THE FAIRWAYS

IN RECENT DAYS SEVERAL RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN CALLED BY THE ''IRS SCAMMERS''
The scenarios, reported---goes like this---A ''robo'',recorded phone call comes in with area codes from Chicago--Washington Dc---and Washington state!
  The callers can be either male or female.The callers, unlike previous scam calls--speak perfect English, with no dialect whatsoever.
 The caller makes a similar following statement----YOU ARE BEING PROSECUTED BY THE IRS!---TO STOP AND AVOID PUNISHMENT,--YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CALL THIS NUMBER---312-******** !
 WHAT EVER YOU DO --DO NOT CALL ANY NUMBER GIVEN!!!
 The IRS never calls residents by phone. The IRS only contacts people by US Mail!
There has been some suspicions by residents that some of the scammers, may have access to a Fairways phone book.
Even a return phone call to the requested number may be damaging---REPEAT-- DO NOT OBEY THE RECORDING--IT IS NOTHING BUT A DANGEROUS HOAX!
 Some would be comforted to call their accountant or tax preparer--that is fine--they will give the same advice---DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS TYPE OF COMMUNICATION!
  Some tax accountants ,report that some of our residents, have been terrified by this hoax.
 Any resident that has received a similar call may post the details here anonymously.

A ''GET WELL CARD '' WITH APPRECIATION TO ALL OF OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE!

THE RECENT HEADLINES ARE NOT PRETTY!

A few days ago --one of our Sector 2 officers was seriously injured and nearly lost her life. Sgt Marcy Pearce was literally ran over by a young 15 year old ''PUNK''. The officer was involved in a function of serving a juvenile warrant. ----BUT--- in this day and age----NO law enforcement officer, works with out risk!
 In the past 2 years ,we have lost 2 young area officers, killed on duty ,answering minor calls.
 I know that all the  Fairways good residents, wish and pray for a quick and full recovery of Sgt. Pearce.
 I have sent Capt. Garrison, the commander of Sector 2, an Email on the Fairways residents behalf, to extend a ''get well& speedy recovery'' to Sgt Pearce.

'' GROUND ZERO''

         OUR NEW PROUD MEETING PLACE!

AFTER SIX YEARS OF PLANNING--THIS PROJECT STARTED ON MAY 25 OF THIS YEAR
Yes---there were some bumps in the road and a 3 month overrun----BUT---- There is not a nicer or even a comparable meeting facility in all of East Orange County!
 All of us are not happy with the final design and placements of the amenities--But--lets work together to make adjustments and agreements with HTA for the betterment of ALL RESIDENTS!
 One of our major concern is the security issues for both residents and the expensive investments in the hall.
 It is a pitiful comment that a petty theft has already occurred!---YES--3 decorated pillows were stolen in the first week,after opening.
 In the years past--there was an old pool table that was first located in the Masters. Later it was moved to the Greenbrier. The old pool table was always an attraction to the outside moochers and ''whatevers''. Too many times neighborhood watch was called about the young outsiders causing a runkus! 
  We need to protect this new valuable asset and the other valuable items!
 At a HOA board meeting ,sometime ago---Mrs Herrick was discussing, the new features of the remodeled Masters.---She noted that security cameras would be installed in and around the building.
 After Priscilla left--a resident suggested that the HOA question the attorney in regards to the  ''camera  privacy act''
 I and other residents failed to understand having and needing security cameras in a PUBLIC meeting area. 
 I would believe that HTA did do the proper and diligent thing by installing,a good quality surveillance system!
 We would suggest ,--mounting a custom made ,attractive warning sign, as to a camera system, on and in the premises.
 This warning would be better to deter a crime,---than to ''play catch me if you can''
  The Orange county Sheriffs Office--- always describes ''crime deterrent as ''TARGET HARDENING''---That is what we need now than before!
Please do this----We have a great Director of Homeowners, --With Randy Muehl.---Take a few moments to drop Randy a note or memorandum, and give some good suggestions for him to take to Priscilla. 
LETS WORK TOGETHER FOR POSITIVE CHANGE, NOT THE NEGATIVE CRAP---WE ALREADY KNOW MUCH OF THAT! 

RESIDENT TIPS AND COMMENTS NEEDED!

WE ARE ASKING FOR THE RESIDENTS HELP

Your new 2016 HOA board of directors needs the help and input of all homeowners.It is realized that some residents can not attend board or regular meetings for various reasons. Not all residents have access to the internet either.

 YES---we are working on a HOA website,also   increased bulletin board facilities and other local media methods. 

The two director positions that rely heavily on resident input and comments, are ----Director of Homeowners and the Director of Neighborhood Watch.

The director of homeowners, Randy Muehl. and myself ,have pledged to independently do the jobs that we were elected to do. ---While at the same time, working closely together ,exchanging information beneficial to the betterment of the community.

Each board member has a defined job description--It is important that each officer do their assigned job, without interfering with any other position.

An important step that I and Randy agree on ,--is the gathering of tips and comments by using our bulletin board drop box and the drop box at the HOA office door. ---Folks simply do this ----If you have a tip that may shed light on some questionable activity or a condition--just drop it on a scrap piece of paper,-- [anonymously if you choose]--in either of the 2 boxes pictured above.

Randy will be meeting with management monthly,--and I can vouch for him without reservation--your concerns will be addressed.

As for Fairways Watch tips--we need tips on unusual vehicle and pedestrian traffic in certain areas.All information,relating to possible criminal activity will be quickly passed on to the command staff of the Orange County Sheriff's office. 

 We have an excellent director of bulletin boards, Sharon Hill. Sharon will pass along all collected info, as directed to either Randy or myself. 

WE NEED YOUR HELP FOLKS!

''BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE''

The  unusual scene below was recorded Sunday evening around 6:30 PM.--- Updated--see below!

A late model Lincoln, was sitting a little ''high and dry'' in the evening rain. Fairways Watch received a call from one of our active spotters, advising us of an unusual situation.

We went to the reported site at the south corner of Inverary and Warwick Hills.
 Sure enough--as we were told --there it was--- a very nice Lincoln ,sitting on top of two large rocks! It seems that these large rocks, and a reflector had been placed at the corner of a property to keep cars out of the yard.
 The car's emergency hazard signals were activated, but no driver was in the area. We speculate that the driver had left to call a tow truck.
 In all probability,--there was damage to the underside of the very nice automobile.
Our concern is simple---Once again---an inanimate object was run over by a careless driver!
 Last week---it was a light pole. A short while before that--- it was a street sign.
 Thank the almighty,----none of these involved a innocent resident being struck!
WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT TIME? 
 If you go out walking after dark, please take along a good flashlight, or other means of recognition!---You don't want to end up in the same position of those rocks!

Fairways Watch has not been able to locate the pictured Lincoln--Probably in the repair shop!

Update Tuesday morning---WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

This  20 mph speed limit sign on Pebble Beach,near Spyglass was hit with such force that it sheared the 4x4'' hard wood post. The impact threw the sign ,over 50 yds from the position shown here! If you look closely, you can see the tire marks of a full sized vehicle.---OH YES--they were headed OUT the gate.
 Looking at the lighter side--maybe the auto manufactures could use the Fairways as a ''AIR BAG TEST CENTER''
SERIOUSLY--Folks this is a DEADLY and critical matter--It's only a matter of time!----

HELP WANTED!

SUSPICIOUS CAR?----[photo not actual vehicle]


UPDATED  DEC 28--SEE BELOW
 Recently, Fairways Watch has observed a older, red Mitisubishi Eclipse ,driving all over the park at all hours. We have personally seen the described car ,crossing from Spyglass, onto Augusta, and pulling out of Warwick Hills onto Inverary.
 In addition to our observations, other residents have expressed interest in a similarly described car.
 The occupants are reported to be 2 dark complected young males. The driver is noted to have heavy ''body art'' and a pony tail. 
  We have not been able to record the vehicle plate number. 
 If any resident, sees this vehicle and get the plate number, it would be most appreciated.
 BETTER YET--if a vehicle such as this is seen parked,at a residence ,the address would also be of interest.

QUESTION--What would we do with a tag number from a vehicle, matching this description?
 Fairways Watch would notify the sector 2 ''special projects officer''. They would ''run'' the tag---if the registered owner has criminal history --they would make all appropriate decisions from that point on.

 There are many, many calls for service made to 911 for ''suspicious vehicles''---This does call for a certain type of profiling---so be it!

Thanks to some observant residents-- we have determined that this vehicle belongs to an outside contractor, working for HTA.
  All appears in order with no concern for residents---THANKS FOLKS!
  

THEY LEFT THE SCENE!

CHRISTMAS MORNING, CAME EARLY THIS YEAR!
The phone for Fairways Watch started ringing this morning at 5:29 AM. One of our trusted watchers, called to report an entire concrete street light pole down---but still burning.

We went to the scene, directly across from the sewage plant on Inverary.

At the scene, we met Ed Dow at which time Duke energy was called to report the accident and to cut power to the downed pole.

As we were scratching our heads as to what kind of vehicle did the damage,--an important ''CLUE'' surfaced as the sun came up.

 Leading away from the scene was a distinct trail of anti freeze and transmission oil!

 Folks--it did not take a"Sherlock Holmes''  to follow the trail.We followed the fluid track--out to Pebble Beach--on down to the 14300 block of. Forrest Oak

 In a driveway sat the heavily damaged Toyota Corolla,--with the air bags deployed! 

 Out of concern for an injured resident, we called 911 and requested a law enforcement ''wellness check''

 While on the phone with 911,---a young lady came out of the house. She did not appear to be injured or impaired in any way.At that point, we were transferred to FHP dispatch. We were questioned by FHP dispatch as to tag numbers and etc. FHP advised that they would dispatch a unit to Forrest Oak.

  The young resident told us that she was driving home and ''went to sleep'' at the wheel.The residency status of the young female is unknown except for the address on Forrest Oak.

 Within minutes 2 FHP units came into the park. The two young polite troopers , first went o the accident scene and then on down to the damaged car.

 The legal activities beyond that point are unknown at this time.

On Monday information will be sent to the office as to the question of proper residency of the young resident.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE!

THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A POOR INNOCENT RESIDENT WALKING OR BIKE RIDING IN THAT IMMEDIATE AREA!

''PORCH PIRATES'' AND OTHER PROBLEMS

It seems that on a regular basis--''catch phrases'' are added to our vocabularies.--The latest one that we picked up on is ''PORCH PIRATES''.
 The term makes references to thieves that follow UPS,--FedX--and USPS trucks. After a parcel is delivered to a residents porch, the theives simply run up and steal the package. During this time of year, business is very good for this type of low life.
 If you are expecting any deliveries, keep close tabs on your porch and retrieve any parcel as soon as possible. The longer a ''target'' is exposed,--the greater the risk of theft.--A camera is a big help!
Another reoccurring problem that has resurfaced in our community is unlicensed,--uninsured,--over priced contractors. OH YES--they claim to be ''licensed and insured''---BUT---are they?--you can check by clicking on to the link at the right of this page.--Why guess-- Know for sure.
  There is an abundance of good ,honest dependable residents that do ''handy man'' jobs. A true handy man requires no contractor license.
 Do this----If you need a home pressure washed or painted---ask for references!.---Then talk to the referenced neighbor in regards to fair pricing and overall satisfaction.
 We have heard of differences in pressure washing jobs of over several hundred dollars.
 AGAIN ---''FORE WARNED IS FORE ARMED!''
