The image above is an aerial photo from 2016 showing the access to the property. As can be seen in the picture, there is an access road in the north, where the two apartments in the condominium are located, as well as from the east, and in connection with the parking lot at the south end of the property.
The image above is an aerial photo from 2022 showing that the access to the property from the north has been removed and that a lawn has been laid and blocked with kerbs to prevent vehicle access.
Here is one of the parking signs right after I put it up in the summer of 2013.
Here is "our" access road as it appeared in 2019. When we bought our apartments, it was "freshly graveled" and not characterized by decay as it is here. But this is how it became as time went on, since Hanne Sine Andresen, after taking over the commercial section of the condominium, has used her majority of votes to block any suggestion to properly maintain it in the same way as the rest of the common areas.
This is how both signs looked on January 7, 2021, I'm not sure why this was done, but it certainly feels like harassment!
Here is Hanne Sine Andresen in "action" right after her "friend" from back then had cut down the actual sign plates using an angle grinder. I don't have any pictures of that particular incident because it literally boiled over in my head, so I had to take a walk along the lake to avoid ending up in the same place with a baseball bat...
Here's Hanne Sine Andresen in the same situation, I'm not sure what the green stuff in her hands is or what she's doing with it.
Again a picture from the same situation, it almost looks as if Hanne Sine Andresen is trying to dig up the sign foundation. She couldn't do that anyway, because it was only done by the contractor she hired to remove the access road a few days later.
Here we see how "someone" has blocked "our" access road by putting up chains between the two sign posts that remain after Hanne Sine Andresen, with the help of her "friend", had committed vandalism. Because that's actually what you call it when someone deliberately destroys someone else's property.
Here we were to be further harassed, so "someone" had blocked "our" access road with several loads of soil. It's not hard to guess who did this, even though I didn't see it being done myself.
Then comes the day when a contractor comes and removes "our" access road and replaces it with lawn and curbs, obviously at the behest of Hanne Sine Andresen, who was "hiding" behind a tree when I took this photo. She even had the nerve to serve coffee and baked goods to the contractor, using my good neighbor's entrance slab as a serving table. When we were also forced to help pay for this, since the costs were subsequently charged to the condominium, and by that the abuse was complete.
On the far left of the picture, we can see the contractor carrying away the foundation for one of the sign posts after digging it up. In the middle of the picture we see Hanne Sine Andresen inspecting the work she has started. She was probably happy at the time, but I'm not sure if she is as happy at the time of writing this.
Here we can see how Hanne Sine Andresen chose to restore “our” access road. As can be seen from the picture, she has chosen to lay a form of “grass reinforcement”, in the form of two “wheel tracks”, so that it is somehow possible to drive across the lawn and up to our entrances. However, the access road is by no means a full-fledged access road, and there is still a curb in front of the “access road”, if you can call it that.
Here I've marked how the access road will run when it's soon to be restored. I've used tent pegs to mark the road route. Since these are not very visible in the image, I have marked the road route with blue lines in the image.
The first thing that was done was to remove the "wheel tracks" or "grass reinforcement" and stack it on a pallet. This weighed in at around 2 tons so moving that pallet later won't be easy, but that's not going to be my problem.
Here, soil and other mass is being removed; we went down about 30 cm before reaching harder mass like gravel/stone. In total, about 40 m² of mass was removed.
While we were already digging in the area, I took the opportunity to lay a conduit for a fiber optic cable all the way to the house wall.
Here we can see that an geotextile membrane has been laid across the entire roadbed to prevent weeds from growing up from below.
Here we can see that they are almost finished laying the road gravel. We chose road gravel as it was recommended over the the gravel more commonly used for such driveways. We were told that road gravel compacts harder and doesn't disappear as easily as other gravel can, especially important since the access road is on a slope.
Here you can see what it looks like right after the contractor finished. It's been exactly three years and three days since the road was taken from us, so we thought it was appropriate to raise the flag now that it's finally back. Additionally, the parking signs has been restored to their original positions.
Notes: The images posted here are my own. I have tried to the best of my ability to obscure random passers-by who were included in the photos, as well as the identity of the contractor who is obviously not part of this conflict and who is only performing the job he was hired to do.
