The board met this past weekend to discuss how to proceed with the waterfall. The waterfall has been repaired at least once in the last three years. According to financial data provided by MJS, we’ve been spending approximately $3000 a year on the waterfall during that time. The breakdown this summer is the second of... Continue Reading →

Dry Turf in Common Areas
You’ve probably noticed the turf in the common areas looking dry. I thought you might want to know what’s going on with this. First, we’ve deliberately cut back on watering to control our spending. We are projecting to exceed our water budget for the year. As you can see from the graph below, the watering... Continue Reading →
Do You Need a New Paper Box?
If you do, ADM Signs will make you a new paper box for $55 plus tax. I picked it up and installed it myself. I didn’t ask what they would charge for installation.
What Happened to the July Yard of the Month?

They’re still effective at directing travelers and emergency personnel through the neighborhood, but they have become an eye sore. We recently awarded the job... Continue Reading →

You’ve probably noticed the waterfall is not working again. I noticed it out last Friday afternoon. I checked and found that something is causing the breaker to trip. Carolina Fountain has been notified and they indicate they’ll be out to perform initial diagnosis today (Tuesday). I’m not sure where we go from here. If they... Continue Reading →
Sidewalks Fixed
Richland County contacted me this morning and indicated they have completed repairs to the sidewalks in the neighborhood. I remain impressed with how quickly they jumped on the problems, especially in this tough economy.
