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:

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.

Electrical Problems, West Side

There are some electrical problems on the West side, near the West Townhouse Lane area.  I talked to the repair crew and it appears one of the underground supply wires is shorted out and blowing fuses on the pole.  They will run a temporary wire until another crew can come in to dig up and replace the old wiring. This underground wiring is over 40 years old now; there has been a few wires replaced on East Mountain Lane last month.

 

RE: Large Item Pickup

We were totally inundated today with a huge amount of sofas, recliners, TV’s, mattresses and box springs, as well as other furniture and larger items.  We had about 6 loads into the Compactor and then had to haul a few loads to the Land Fill. We simply could not pick it all up in one day.

We will be back picking up the remaining items on Friday.
