Maintenance update

Jim has been busy with the pool and various small tasks around the community.

Here’s the latest:

1) A new flowmeter was installed in the pumphouse…old one was half-working and leaking at install point.

2) Jim has been working in the pumphouse w/ the sump pump to keep the leak from flooding the room. Repair scheduled for this week.

3) he just installed rock border around the planter in front of the pumphouse…the plastic “picket” border was not appropriate for the spot.

4) Jim has been painting garbage cans green (they were the stained, faded gray/tan)
most of the garbage can covers were cracked…he bought some bondo, sanded them, and repainted…they look good now.

5) the tennis parking lot was re-striped recently.

6) Jim replaced a mailbox along the trail

7) he monitored the reclaimed water hook-up on the blvd (waiting for elec co)

8) Jim totally remodeled his office with new shelving to make the outer office a “paint room”.

9) Tennis court has repainted benches (green instead of white)

10) Per susie’s suggestion, he installed a spring on the tennis court door to ensure it contacts the magnetic lock assembly.

11) Jim picked up the new office printer from my friend in NPR (req’d his pickup)


Our major project over the next 2 months is repairing and resealing the ENTIRE walking path. The repairs have to sit for 30ish days to fully harden, but he’ll be re-sealing during that time. There are probably quite a few things I either forgot to mention or don’t even know Jim did. Just an fyi

Leak in Reclaimed Main Line of Blvd

We experienced a large rupture of the reclaimed water main line that runs the length of our Blvd last week. It was promptly repaired by Pinellas County and I have been assured that the full fix will be completed over the next 2 weeks, as they have to allow for the surrounding area to fully dry out and settle before it is re-paved.

Updates will occur as necessary. Thanks for your patience.

As you know, we have experienced 2 freezes that left frost on our cars and a shiver in our walk. Needless to say, we've experienced a die-off of some shrubs and also the lawn in our common areas. According to our Lawn Maintenance contractor, grass in the vicinity of large trees survived while grass out in the open died. Luckily, the roots should be fine and the green will return.

Pinellas County has installed the reclaimed meter on the Blvd at Lakeview and WL Blvd. We'll be working intensely on bringing the grass back to healthy levels.

Have a good week.
