In the building we live, there are 10 apartments. The day-to-day running of the building is a task that is done by one selected representative among the owners. The picture shown is not of our building but ours is similar to the apartment house with the red center that you see here.

This year they "pushed" Eni into this role. So she is now the "sindica" of the building. Eni told them from the first moment that she did not want this role now because she do not have any experience as sindica and she is a little too stressed right now. But after several meetings they managed to push her into it.

There is a small compensation for this, not nearly enough for the work that has to be done, but the positive thing is that we can now get things done in this building that has been long overdue. I think some of the people here will see changes they did not think of when they chose Eni. When she does something like this, she insist on doing it well.

The first thing that will happen is that all the people that work in this building will be fired and the security, cleaning and maintenance will be outsourced to a company that spesialize in this kind of work. We are lucky to have some friends that have a company like this and we got a good price from them. All apartments share the pay for cleaning, security and maintenance and this bill will be something like 20% lower next month. A nice start!

There are a couple of big rooms downstairs at the end of the entrance hall with a kitchen. This is meant for parties etc. and can be used by everyone in the building. But so far I have not seen one single party there, and when we asked to have our wedding party there, they said no! So we will now make a calendar for the use of this area and encourage people to use it. We all pay for it, so why not use it?

I am looking forward to see how things develop through the year!
