By the time they emerged from these, they had established a shared framework of rules, signs clarifying what was permitted or not,
and a newly setup steering group for the Residents’ Association.
Ove was the chairman; Rune, the vice chairman. In the months that followed they went to the dump together.
Grumbled at people who had parked their cars incorrectly.
Bargained for better deals on paint and drainpipes at the hardware store,
stood on either side of the man from the telephone company when he came to install telephones and jacks,
brusquely pointing out where and how he should best go about it.
Not that either of them knew exactly how telephone cables should be installed,
but they were both well versed in keeping an eye on whippersnappers like this one, to stop them pulling a fast one.
That was all there was to it. Sometimes the two couples had dinner together.
Insofar as one could have dinner when Ove and Rune mostly just stood about in the parking area the whole evening,
kicking the tires of their cars and comparing their load capacity, turning radius, and other significant matters.
