POOL CLOSED

Posted on by Don Ryan

The Pool is closed until further notice due to the Emergency phone not being operational. It must be working or we cannot open the pool.

AT&T has been advised of the problem, but they are the one who cause the emergency phone to fail when they work on U-Verse or phone lines in the vicinity.

This is not the first time they have caused the emergency phone not to work.

We will advise once it has been repaired and is functional again.

Our Trash Compactor

Posted on by Don Ryan

Our trash compactor decided to come apart late last week. We had to make multiple trips to the dump, as Thursday was large item day on the East side. Of course it would break down on that day.

We currently have a 30 yard (cubic yard) dumpster and hopefully, it will get us through the interim period. We average 3-4 tons of trash twice a week from the property and there is no ETA on when we will get the trash compactor back; the hydraulic ram assembly came apart and tried to come out the front access plate.
