Barbecue Prevention

On Sunday I had my annual summer barbecue. I had to pick that day because of construction reasons. My condo building is undergoing a major overhaul that requires balconies to be cleared by a certain day. My balcony was supposed to be cleared on Monday. So after my barbecue party, I dutifully unhooked it and moved it indoors. I planned to take it to my parking stall when I can find someone to help me move it.
The thing is, I have seen no action by the contractors towards my balcony. They aren’t even close.
So, this evening, I moved my barbecue outside again, hooked it up and cooked a nice dinner. I am not planning to immediately move it back inside. If I see any motions towards my balcony, yes I will move it inside again. But until that time, I’m going to enjoy summertime cooking.
And in the worst case scenario where they forcibly remove my barbecue while I’m not looking, I will take as an excuse to get a new one. It is ten years old.
