Before

After

2011 - Deck Maintenance

During the summer of 2011 all decks were Power-washed and sealed.

2009 - Fence Maintenance

On August 5-6, 2009, the fences behind the parking lot as well as the one in back of houses #119 and #121 were power-washed and sealed. Periodically doing this not only keeps the fence looking clean, but it maintains it so that the fence will last much longer.

2008 - Deck Maintenance

During our 2008 Annual meeting we voted to have the Association cover the cost of deck power-washing and sealing every third year. The first deck maintenance occurred August 18, 2008.

2007 - House Painting

House Painting Project Meeting Minutes

March 15, 2007

Attendees:

The meeting adjourned at 7 pm with a majority of members present. The group walked down to West Hutchinson to view paint samples on various properties.

Aaron, Amanda and Nancy presented information on the painting bids they received. They presented three finalists with detailed bids describing the work involved, payment plans, and methods of painting. All three finalists guaranteed their work and the paints used and all carry insurance. Insurance documentation will be obtained after the bid is approved. After discussing the references, Nancy motioned to approve J&S Painting, Donald seconded the motion and eight people agreed to move forward with awarding the bid to J&S Painting, with one abstention.

The plan is to paint the doors the same putty color, the stucco a cream color and the timbers a sage green color. Aaron and Amanda will collect paint samples so the group can decide on the shade of green at the next meeting. They will also discuss the terms for payment with J&S painting and bring invoices for each member. The cost of painting will be equally divided among all members and they expect to have an installment plan for the payments. The anticipated start date would be mid May and it should take approximately four weeks, depending on the weather. Also, a standard for house numbering will be determined at the next meeting. Aaron will bring samples of the building numbers. House numbers will be changed on each house concurrently with the painting project. The price of the numbering will be included in the special assessment for the painting.

The next meeting will be set once the final contract is prepared.
