Deck follow up

Work began last week on the replacement of the deck boards on the inner decks.  To reiterate, end units will not be receiving any work this year.   As with any repair project and especially with this one, your deck area will be a construction zone during the duration of the work.  The construction work will consist of; removing existing planks, this will expose a hole in your deck.  This condition is a safety hazard.  The contractor has promised to use caution tape on the doors but please do NOT open the sliding door at this time.  Once the planks are removed they will be replaced with composite deck materials.  Please do not attempt to go on the deck until the caution tape has been removed and the job is complete.
 
The next question we have received concern gas lines.  The natural gas lines come out of your house under your deck, the gas line is a flexible hose that should never be attached to the deck in anyway.  This freestanding hose needs to be removed from any part of the deck.  If it is attached to the deck please have a plumber remove it.  In addition, there is to be no drilling into the new decks to accommodate gas lines.  There are no exceptions to this.
 
As the project develops we will have a better idea of the time it will take to complete the project.  With that we can develop a time line for the project.  We will inform the community as that becomes more clear.  We appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this time.
 
 
As always if you have any questions or comments please contact a board member or contact Bob Kelly.  Thanks
