Police Activity, West Side

It seems someone on a dirt bike decided to run from PD around lunch time, which is never a good idea.

They saturated the West side with 6 to 8 units, plus the helicopter, and I am told they chased him around the property for a short while.

A Sergeant came into the Office later on to let us know they arrested the individual.

Sidewalk Work, West Mountain Lane

During the Fall months, we are replacing sidewalks around the property. The photos below are of a section of sidewalk that was getting pretty bad. We are replacing sections as we go, and doing the worst ones first. We have tried some repairs in certain areas, but they are short lived. So, we cut up the old sections and replace them. Some sidewalks here do not have any mesh or re-bar, and some are less than a few inches thick. We are also inserting pins along the edge when we mate up old and new sections to add rigidity.

Once again, we are fortunate to have maintenance guys capable of doing many things; we save a lot of money as compared to hiring contractors to do this stuff.

Freeze Warnings

NWS Fort Worth/Dallas

Please remember to either wrap the pipes in the outbuilding (2 story units) or have a small heater in it to keep the pipes from freezing. We have 4 to 6 outbuildings end up with broken pipes following a freeze.

 

Rocks on Pool Cover

Sometime last night, someone decided to throw rocks onto the pool cover, perhaps to damage it. The cover we have runs around $4,000 to replace and is designed to support the weight of an adult and prevent drowning. That’s why the pool is covered in the off season, to protect people.

These rocks and pieces of concrete had fairly sharp edges. The cover is mesh and could have been damaged to the point it would rip if someone were to fall into it. As most of you remember, we do have people jumping the pool fence from time to time. The cover is there for safety.

If anyone saw someone throwing rocks onto the pool cover, please let us know.

These were removed from the pool cover
