					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;For most of us, winter is dreary enough without worrying about the grit and
&nbsp;grime that often accompanies it. From December through March, the snows that
&nbsp;fall require almost non-stop attention, from making sure the sidewalks stay
&nbsp;ice-free to keeping the lobbies and common areas slush-free. For maintenance staff and management, the winter months are a never-ending
&nbsp;struggle to keep the places we call home clean and safe.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The boiler squats at a building&rsquo;s core, churning out heat like some hulking behemoth of the deep. We tend to
&nbsp;take the boiler and its labyrinth of pipes entirely for granted, except when it
&nbsp;fails to work properly. Ignored in spring and summer, the sleeping giant must
&nbsp;be awakened carefully before temperatures begin to drop in autumn.

					  <link>http://newenglandcondo.com/articles/455/1/Draffted-Ice-Dams/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;It&rsquo;s a very special formula, says Ralph Noblin of the professional engineering firm
&nbsp;Noblin &amp; Associates. In New England, we literally went close to 20 years without that
&nbsp;formula coming together. As a decades-long veteran of condo engineering, the
&nbsp;Bridgewater-based Noblin has seen that formula&mdash;heavy snow and little wind followed by sustained cold temperatures&mdash;converge many times. And when the proper ingredients do combine, they all add up
&nbsp;to ice damming&mdash;a costly headache for condo boards, property managers, and even unit owners
&nbsp;themselves.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Every resident living in a building with more than two stories understands the
&nbsp;convenience an elevator affords. While antiquated forms of the modern elevator
&nbsp;date back to Ancient Rome, the first passenger hydraulic elevator was installed
&nbsp;in New York City in 1857. Since then there have been many updates in the
&nbsp;industry.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;When you live in a multifamily building with possibly hundreds of people
&nbsp;residing under one roof, cooking, cleaning, dusting, and breathing, it&rsquo;s no surprise that the airways, chutes, and garbage rooms can get clogged and
&nbsp;dirty over time, potentially leading to some serious problems.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Winter is coming, and they&rsquo;re looking for a cozy place to hunker down, stay warm and dry, and maybe raise a
&nbsp;family. And like relatives stopping in for a vacation, they&rsquo;re cute at first, but more than likely will overstay their welcome.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;One of New England&rsquo;s more unique resort communities, Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, beckons like
&nbsp;an oasis from the heart of the White Mountain National Forest. Two hours from
&nbsp;Boston and served by one main road &ndash;&ensp;Route 49 &ndash;the village only claims about 300 year-round residents. However, from all
&nbsp;accounts, the community is bustling and open for business all year through.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;It&rsquo;s a simple equation: Warmer temperatures and melting snow means that spring is rearing its head around winter&rsquo;s chilly corner. And aside from the change of wardrobe, there&rsquo;s one other thing that condominium residents have to look forward to. No, not
&nbsp;pool parties (just yet, anyway) &ndash; we&rsquo;re talking about spring-cleaning.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Everyone knows the old phrase about April showers bringing May flowers, but what
&nbsp;the saying doesn&rsquo;t tell you is that the rain in April can also bring a lot of damage to your
&nbsp;gutter system. Hard rain and blustery wind are always around once spring hits
&nbsp;the air in New England &ndash; and that weather can play havoc with the drainage requirements of any condo or
&nbsp;co-op development.
