The Board feels that this is a matter of maintenance. Mr. Stock stated that he could repair the windows but he feels that the builder should provide storm window and that will rectify the problems. Mr. Stock claims that Babin Windows will not repair the shimming problem with the windows; they will only repair the weather stripping and tighten the locks. Mr. Votaw was administe?:edthe oath. He claims that the conden- sation_ gets so bad that they get ice build up when the temper- ature is around 100. He is concerned that there will be damage to the wallpaper if the casings are removed by the builder. Mr. Bartel of Vienna Construction was administered the oath. He stated that one window was warped and the sash was going to be replaced. They also will replace the weather stripping where it is missing. He promised the Board that he would have a serviceman out within 30 days. He cannot promise that Vienna homes will provide storm windows. Mr. Shulz advised Mr. Stock and Mr. Votaw to talk with the builder and attempt to get the problems resolved. They are to notify the Board if the problem is resolved; if not, they are to retur.n to the Board in March. Mr. Shulz referred Mr. Stock to the BOCA, Page 10, Section PM 302.4 to verify that there were no code violations. Mr. Mackenzie advised that the windows were shimmed, but not at the check rail. He stated that a window was usually shimmed wlierever required, not necessarily at the check rail. Mr. Stock still feels that these windows must always be shimmed at the check rail, as well as down the side where neces- sary. Mr. Bartels claims that the windows were inspected. He also stated that he is not responsible for windows where the owner has taken off the casings. Mr. Stock, Mr. Votaw, and Mr. Beck are to get together with Mr..Bartels and Vienna Con- struction and try to work out a solution and then come back to the Boaxd in 30 days. Mr. Gundy asked Mr. Bartel to check the cold bedroom in the Votaw home. The home owners were again advised to work with Vienna Homes and return for the March 26th meeting if they are still not satisfied. J. Patton moved to postpone the Election of Officers until there is a full Board, seconded by R. Tallon, and unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. B. Shulz, Chairman B.
