Two hours later the ice melted.

Reality check for him.I am sure he thought you would just melt and give him a break.

Second , slip and falls , the contractor would have to return every 12 hours to salt due to freeze and thaw , snow melts and refreezes on the drive . 

The real estate melt-down in 2008-2009 necessitated my unretirement...After looking for some other way to rebuild my retirement portfolio I have circled back to real estate as my vehicle of choice.

One day it snowed a bit, and the snow I tracked in never melted all day.

@J Scott  HOA s  are an important part of the due diligence.what I have personally encountered since the melt down.. is that the HOA's were never really formed other than the CCR's recorded.. developer ran out of money.. home owners never had a turn over meeting.. so its a rudderless ship.I built some homes over on the Oregon coast that was like that.. there was and or is a HOA but no one is running it.. so no one to talk to about design criteria.. and out our way . 

My original credit facilities were to buy court house steps.. so we needed cash on the barrel head so we started with a 4 million dollar unsecured LOC.. we used that cash to buy then we got the appraisal etc and tapped our holding line which bounced between 6 and 8 million.. it was pretty sweet.. you talk about advantage at the court house steps.. walk up with a couple milske in cashiers checks.. and if I did not use them that day the money was never taken from my account and I was not charged for it.. this is what great banking relationships will do for you.. then in the melt down of 08 that bank was the only one of 5 I dealt with that kept my credit lines in tack but they shrunk dramatically of course..

I was booted out of the International Physicist's Consortium because I theorized that the quantum wave length of cobalt 7 added to the instability of the linear mass of Wall Street's hyper volatility leading to the melt down in 2008.

If the breaker has been replaced and the area around the main panel doesn't reek of burning plastic (electrical components melting  smell about as distinctive as burning hair) there is no safety issue.
