Concrete Step Repair:

2011 Deferred Projects

Garage Trim: 

After careful considerations of the projects that are being planned this year it was decided to defer this project for review in Spring/Summer 2012.
Going Batty:
The Board has approved a pilot project to increase the population in our community.  A Bathouse has been approved to help combat the flying insects that sometimes make going outside unpleasant.
    UPDATE: A spot has been located.  The Bathouse will be installed in the north east corner on the north side of visitor parking.  Plans to install a pole to attach the Bathouse are underway.
    UPDATE: Due to competing commitments this project has been deferred to the 2012 spring season.

Roof Replacement:

The Board is currently considering the option of replacing some roofs.  Typically pine shake roofing material lasts up to 10 to 15 years; currently our roofs our 12 years old and deteriorating. 

 

The Board has asked for quotes on different materials to replace the worst of the roofs, currently 3 of the buildings.  These materials range from the standard shingles to a low weight concrete tile.  We are looking at all options with cost, maintenance and energy efficiency taken into account.

 

Stay tuned for more updates.

    UPDATE: This project is currently deferred until the 2012 repair season.

2011 Cancelled Projects

West Stucco Wall: 

The Board assessed the west stucco wall and determined that other than regular maintenance no other resources need to be earmark for this project unless warranted.

 

This has been removed from the projects list.
