Pool Maintenance

In case some were wondering why we drained the pool, we had an algae problem that required us to pressure wash the sides and bottom of the pool.  It is almost refilled as of this afternoon.  We will likely be covering it next week to keep the leaves out; they tend to plug up the skimmers.

Tree Work Next Week

S&P Tree Services will be back early next week to remove a large tree near east Townhouse Lane that is splitting badly and poses a risk of falling onto the common area behind the Shop.  Below are a few photos:

20150925_141753_resized 20150925_141804_resized 20150925_141807_resizedIn addition to the vertical splits, there is a horizontal split on a very large limb.

Therefore, this tree will be removed entirely.

We will be planting a few trees in the fall to add some shade to that area.

The offer for homeowners to trim their trees in their back yards still stands, if we can get enough homeowners together to make 7-8 hours of work for the tree service. S&P will extend our special pricing to our homeowners. If we get 6 or so homeowners, the individual costs would be less than $300; try getting a tree professionally trimmed for that.

We have many residents who should take advantage of this special offer from S&P to prevent the City or the HOA from issuing citations or fines in the near future.
