Sometime ago I had a private convo with someone here about problems with #strata management.
I'm sorry but cannot remember who it was. However, this may be of interest to anyone living in a unit, particularly owners.
If you have problems with lazy strata management the answer is to have a strong knowledgeable Owners Committee. This means a lot of hard work and is time consuming so needs good support from the other owners. Sometimes necessary to make use of your own solicitor who specialises.
Remember, the strata management company is there to serve YOU. They certainly charge enough in fees.

'People believe they need strata managers in many cases where they don’t,” says Adam Promnitz, the founder of advocacy group Strata Owners Alliance. That perception, he says, is coupled with “an arrogance within the industry that they’re infallible or that they are indispensable”.

“A lot of the managers, it’s almost like they think they’re the CEO of the building or the boss of the building, whereas they actually work for the owners.”'

Unit owners are wresting back control of their stratas: ‘If I don’t do it, the building will fall into the street’

Amid high costs and low confidence in the industry, some owner-occupiers are taking on Australia’s commercialised strata system

Now of course, throughout all this time we had also been #decluttering the kitchen, with a great deal of progress both in permaent removal/disposal but also of putting things that did need to be kept either away or at least collected together with similar items in an accessible, clear-sided and labelled box.

Somewhere in the lower #strata, my family member found the item I pictured in the first post of this story.

They looked at me with a raised eyebrow, so I explained that I had no idea what it was but I had tried using it for poking holes in various experiments whilst creating/developing/building/modifying items to help #mitigate all these major issues in recent years.

The thing is, unlike me, they knew EXACTLY what it was. The raised eyebrow was not a silent 'WTF is this?' but a 'Why on earth does my non-cooking relative have a #MeatTenderiser?'

The upshot is that, starting with my kitchen 'nerve-centre' and then spanning into other rooms over time, these various crises have resulted in what I call #strata.

The lowest strata is #DIY mask experiments and making. Above that is the first attempts at #HeatMitigation. Then there is #AirQuality mitigation, and then some blending of these in upper strata depending on access to materials or new approaches I can try without risking violating my #lease.

Except, of course, it turns out there is always a catch.
