Shared wall…who pays?

“My neighbor has gutted their house and removed a kitchen add-on and the room above it. Now on my property, where we had a shared wall, my insulation and dry wall is exposed and covered with a tarp. Part of the roof that we shared has been cut away exposing wood. We discovered the floor joist under their demolished kitchen also run under my kitchen. The joist are still there but need to be cut away on their property. They have asked me to share the cost in stabilizing my kitchen once the joist are cut. When their kitchen walls were removed we could see my stove vent extends into their property about three inches. They want this removed at my cost. This is the original vent from when I purchased this house 20 years ago. I don’t have the time or money to be part of their re-hab. What are my options?”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
