We got back from the winter in April. From then until now, we've not had usual access to our balcony. As the two towers of my condo association are being painted, we had to clear everything from our balcony. Our chairs are being stored. Our side of the complex is the very last corner to be done.Painters are only working during the day, of course. They're not always at our level, on the 10th floor of 17, so it's not as if we can't open the sliding glass doors to venture outside. We have one large plant pot with meter-high lemongrass that spends nights outside and comes in during working hours. It just seems unusual that we've not had regular use of the space for over three months.
We face south which is great as far as exposure to sun. Yet, when wicked Pacific winter winds blow up the Fraser River, we get the brunt of the storms. Our side needed repainting the most. I'm glad we have great maintenance at Carnarvon Place.
