Back Gate Codes Yes, it is that time again. The back gate codes will be changing Monday, May 7th, 2012. An email was sent out with the code today. If you did not receive it, please let me know. Building Work April 6th, I posted in the blog about water testing. We did get the results from the water testing and a proposal was received from the contractor. The proposal was sent to the Board along with the Association's engineer. The work will be done the week of May 14th and should take 3-4 days depending on the weather. There will be a person repealing so you might see someone and/or rope outside your living room windows. Most of the work will be done in the West Tower, only one drop will be made in the East Tower. Plumbing Work We are having some plumbing work done in the 2nd floor garage in both towers to solve a suds pressure issue two units have been experiencing. The two stacks that will be affected by this work are the 08 stack in the East Tower and the 05 stack in the West Tower. We will not need to gain access into any of the units but we do ask you not to use your water/toilets since the pipes will be opened. I will be calling and emailing all owners in the 08E and 05W stack starting today. Also, since they will be working in the garage we will need access to the following parking spots: East Tower (second floor) P-099, P-098, P-097, P-096, P-095 and West Tower (second floor) P-085. I will be getting in touch with the owners of these parking spots as well. Door Jam Painting We will be having the door jams painted on the units that the paint is chipping. A list of the units that will be done will be published later this week. If you feel your door jam needs attention and it is not on the list, please contact me before next Tuesday. The work will be done on Tuesday May 8th, 2012. This paint is an oil based paint so if you door jam is getting painted, please be very careful not to touch it. Annuals Below is a link to some pictures of the annuals that were installed last Thursday. For the wet areas, Canna Lillies were installed. These areas include the back of the business center, behind the guard house, to the left of the East Tower and to the right of the main gate inside the property. I feel these flowers really complement the property. If we have another mild winter, these should last for awhile. For the drier, full sun areas, pentas were chosen. These locations are at the front entrance, front of the guard house, right hand side of the guard house and around the palms out by the pool. The pentas should do very well in these areas since they do get fungus with too much water. The landscape company does monitor the irrigation for the entire property and do have different schedules when new plants/flowers are installed. The head irrigation tech was out here on Friday after the plants were installed to ensure the irrigation and the schedule was correct. I did meet with him after he checked everything and everything on the schedule was correct for the new plants. To verify this again, a work order was put in on Friday after a homeowner was concerned about the condition of the flowers for the irrigation tech to come back to the property and recheck everything. I would like to again, thank Kevin Chapmen for assisting Greenscapes with the flower choices this year. NSYC Annuals 2012 Pictures
