Landscape Project
Thank you to the landscape task force and Dave Reder for leading the project. The project has begun and is in progress on two buildings. Weather conditions and availability of plant material may push full completion into Spring 2023. Please review your annual meeting minutes for a detailed description of the project.
During the tear-out process, a small corner of a roof and a wooden post were damaged. Repairs will be done soon.
Project/Grounds Update
- Lighting project is almost complete, except for 10 fixtures that still need to be installed on the rear decks of D and E buildings. The order is expected to arrive soon and be installed this fall.
- Deck headers—The project could begin mid-October, though it may be best to wait until spring when temperatures are warmer to pour footings, etc.
- Hot tub bubbler has been repaired and is working.
- Deer repellant will be sprayed on main hedges and on vegetation in the boat yard. This is done each fall and proves to be very effective.
- Asphalt will be repaired where the water main break occurred. Additional bad spots in the roadway may also be repaired.
- Pool house was treated for ants and spiders.
Fall is here so it is time to get ready for cold and snow.
Winter Reminders
- Hoses must be removed from external faucets and faucets shut off.
- All planters, flowerpots should be removed from the stairs and sidewalks prior to November snowfall.
- Be sure to check all windows to ensure they are securely closed.
- Set thermostat for heating with a minimum temperature of 55 degrees when not occupied.
- Moorings should be removed from the lake or properly marked with a smaller winter buoy. We will be removing abandoned moorings in the spring so at that time, please make sure your unit number appears on your buoy.
- Watercraft and trailers must be properly stored for the winter.
- Please call the office with any questions regarding winterization.
