Rain, Rain, Rain –
This has been an unusually wet season with over 60 inches of rain falling through July (August count not available).
We have experienced 13 separate leaks or incidences of water intrusion into units.
Most of the causes have been identified and are currently in various stages of remediation.
Downspout extensions have been added to almost all downspouts and Neil and the contractor continue to monitor them.
Underground drains continue to be an issue and we will be addressing this when members of the Building/Planning Committee return. In the meantime, make sure your units are being checked and report any problems to Alliant or Cheryl
Lightning Strike –
The 4586 building was hit by lightning on August 28th. The damage was minimal although pieces of stucco ended up flying into the pool. The pool company has cleaned the pool. Upon further investigation it was noted that some of the lightning rods on the building were not adequately secured and were ineffective. Luckily no electronic damage to owner’s equipment or fire resulted. We are arranging for an electrician to come out and get the equipment working properly
Barbara Hartman’s Japan Trip
Barbara Hartman and her family spent 2 weeks in Japan this summer. They arrived in Tokyo for the first week, and visited Mt. Fuji, took a cruise on Lake Ashi, visited Hakone and went to many shrines and temples.
Her 14-year-old twin grandchildren were fascinated by the Japanese culture! Their cousins had been there last summer, so they were excited, especially going on a Pop Culture tour!
They all took the Shinkansen Bullet Train to Kyoto for the next week, where everyone enjoyed a Tea Ceremony with the kids dressing up in Japanese tradition. They got to experience the beauty of the countryside, the food, the Kiyomizu Dera Temple, and Arashyama Fushimi Imari. Although the kids had been to Europe again earlier this summer, this was their first trip to Asia! Barbara was so glad to enjoy the fun with her family.
