Deck power washing and resealing

Starting May 1^st, Friendly Power washing and painting will begin the project of finishing up the decks. They will be power washed and painted.  We have used Friendly before in our community with very good results.  The first building to be done is the building by the pond closest to Route 72 and they will be working their way to the pool.  The washing will be done by machine and the paint product will be applied by brush. 

For the middle units stairs spindles and handrails will be completed.  For end units, the entire deck will be power washed and painted.  Please note there will be no spraying of paint to keep the job as neat as possible. 

The color of the paint was picked to match the new decking and that was picked to blend in with the siding. 

AS A RESULT OF THIS PROJECT;  PLEASE REMOVE ALL FURNITRUE FROM THE DECK BY MONDAY.     

If the furniture is not removed it will be removed for you and placed on the lawn.  The furniture on the lawn must then be stored by the owner in the garage until a week after the painting is complete. 

 

We are excited to be completing this project, it was the biggest project we have ever taken on and has taken a number of years to plan and complete.  We thank you for your cooperation during this project and ask for your cooperation to keep expenses down and enable the project to go smoothly.    

As always if you have any questions please contact Mary Jo at AA or a board member. 

Bulk Garbage Pick Up this week

Just a reminder garbage pick-up (grey cans) is Tuesday and recycling (blue cans) is Wednesday.  once a month bulk items are collected, bulk items are collected this week which is the second week of the month. 

Another reminder if you have bulk items please only put them out for second week collection, bulk garbage is unsightly for the whole community if left out for the entire month.
