We have had issues with the recent rain causing dirt to wash down the incline onto the pool deck area. You can see a mark on the deck where the dirt usually sat. So, to alleviate this problem, we added in a retaining wall to stop the erosion and loss of soil. While we were there, we added in a sidewalk between the pool deck and the rear BBQ area. Previously, people had to walk past the Women’s restroom to get to the rear area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are fortunate to have acquired maintenance staff members over the years who have a wide variety of experience and can do these projects so we can reduce costs, as opposed to hiring subcontracting companies to do them. The last major sewer repair, requiring a back hoe and a lot of man-hours, would have cost the HOA over $10,000; we spent around $1500 including equipment rental and labor. This is one example; we did 5 similar repairs in the past 4 or 5 months, using our people to do them. The same is true of water line repairs and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
