Strictly from an occupancy limit standpoint, I had a sort of similar situation come up once with a rental. This particular rental is in the town I live in as well, I'm friendly with some of the staff that work in the town hall since personal + business takes me in there fairly often. Anyway, rental is small 2 br/1 bath of the 'starter home' variety. The master is average size but BR #2 is small. (One child + their furniture will fill BR#2.) New at this back then, my very first scenario rolled around where a family or extended family too large for the house wanted to rent it. (Since then, I've learned it's a fairly common occurrence when one comes on the market.) There were 6 people total, kids were not little, they were teens or tweens. Space and privacy needs were ignored, the only consideration was location & that it was within their budget. I felt bad declining, but a lot of people using an older house not designed to hold a lot of occupants can increase the wear/tear factor considerably. Plus I don't want people camping out in living room (their solution) and forbid any sleeping in unfinished basement (no proper fire escape per code). There are other areas they can go around here and find something larger, affordable. It might not be quite as nice a neighborhood or school system, but that's they way it is. I knew I didn't want to go down that path but wasn't sure legally how I could decline if their credit + history checked out OK. So I went and spoke to a friend in the town hall familiar with code. She said the town has no occupancy limits per se, they leave that up to LL's judgment. So maybe there is a reason some towns don't address occupancy, like yours gave. Doesn't make sense to me but since I've experienced it first hand, it does exist. I've had some people get very angry when I won't let them cram a bunch of people in a little house, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere. So if that's what's going on in your situation, the brunt of it is going to be dealt w/between LL and Assn. I'm surprised LL will allow as many as 8 adults in a 2BR, but if he's charging a 'per person' rate he's got to be really raking in the $. If that's the case, the fines are probably nothing but a small ping to his profit margin. But, as you say, these matters are dealt with in strictest confidence. (I've had neighbors inquire about a renter's situation that has become troublesome even to others and I just will not discuss it. Imagine that could get me in a boatload of legal hot water, violating privacy, etc.) I'm just not that familiar with condo Assn rules. So where does it go if owner just flat our refuses to comply? They can't legally force him to sell, can they? (I'm just curious what Assn's next move could be, from a legal standpoint, if they are fining the owner and he's simply ignoring it all.)

Here's another vote for yeast raised waffles - my recipe is a little different. * Exported from MasterCook * Raised Waffles Recipe By : Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/2 cup warm water (105 to 110 degrees) 1 package dry yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups milk -- warmed (105 to 110 degrees) 1/2 cup unsalted butter -- (1 stick) melted 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 2 eggs Use a large mixing bowl.Batter will rise to double its original volume.Put water in mixing bowl & sprinkle in the yeast.Let stand to dissolve for 5 mins. Add the milk, butter,salt,sugar & flour to the yeast mixture & beat beat until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand overnight at room temperature. Just before cooking the waffles, beat in the eggs, add the baking soda and stir until well mixed. The batter should be very thin. Pour about 1/2 c. to 3/4 c batter into a very hot, oiled waffle iron. Bake until they are golden and crisp. Source: ""The Breakfast Book" Marion Cunningham" Yield: "10 waffles" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I think it is based upon an object at Mount Vernon and not a room color. If you read the description of the fandeck, you can kind of tell which colors are room colors and which are "inspired by" colors. The room colors are mostly greens or blue-greens with white trim or white with green or blue-green trim, it seems. Actually I think you arrived at these three (or five, including the Burnt Umber and Inkwell) by a certain process of elimination of what was going on in other rooms and by wanting a saturated color. That leaves Blue, Red or Yellow as the primaries and you used a Dark Blue elsewhere, --or Green or a Neutral which is Brown or Black. I don't think you want a chrome yellow bedroom, or hazard orange bedroom so you are considering all the reasonable options available.

So, as for some of liriodendron's specific points: At the amount that wholesale sheets would cost me and the ease of obtaining them, I don't think I would have to worry much about them wearing at the edges or getting polyester-y. I don't sleep in AC at the timeshare condo in August and the sheets are fine. I sew a lot and making fitted sheets + pillowcases would be trivial for me. You know, I have to admit that part of my motivation for switching to wholesale hotel supply sheets would be that I am sick of the retail sheet industry and would love to stick it to them in my own small way. A sheet is a plain, basic staple of bedding. Everyone I know buys and uses them. They're not inherently a specialty or luxury good. Now, I know that sheets *can* be indulged in as specialty and luxury goods. I know that people *do* make a hobby of learning about bedding fibers and collecting their favorite types. In no way do I have anything against people who want to do those things, but my point is, it shouldn't be necessary for someone who just wants to buy a household staple that won't fall apart or cost them an absurdly inflated price. In order to do this, no one should HAVE to collect esoteric fiber information. Nobody should HAVE to pass along clues by word of mouth as to who makes a decent product this month or year. Nobody should HAVE to scour eBay or find specialty stores to buy a plain, staple household item! The retail sheet industry seems to have done its best to twist and obfuscate facts in order to sell millions of poorly made products with planned obsolescence and few real alternatives. I would love to opt out of their marketing horsepoo and intentionally shoddy goods, and simply never worry about it again. $125 or so every handful of years, even if the sheets wear out faster than I would hope (and I think that rotating between 3-4 sets would do much to extend their lifespans), seems to me like a very small price to pay for that freedom.
