Here is the latest from the Buildings Committee
Eavestrough cleaning
We would like to remind everyone that fall is here and with will come eavestrough cleaning. When the cleaning is scheduled notice will be sent out from the office giving approximate dates for this work. People who like to leave their windows open or park their car close to their home may want to move them to keep them from accidentally getting dirty.
Window maintenance
Are you tired of the sticky windows that vibrate, chatter and are hard to open? I wish I could say you are getting new ones, however here is a little DIY tip that can help your windows work smoothly. All the windows have plastic/nylon glides on the top and bottom. These glides can be easily pried off with a narrow slot screwdriver. Try switching places with the barely worn glides from the top of the window and place the worn glides on the top and the good condition ones on the bottom. After this make sure to vacuum the window tracks so that they are free of dust and debris.
Spruce up your home for winter
Did you know that you can find out how much money is in your unit fund by contacting our handy dandy office co-ordinator? You can use these funds to do little odd jobs around the house such as replacing that broken plug cover, replacing sticky door locks and even buying a new shower rod if your old one is rusty. Contact the office co-ordinator for specific details.
Kitchen repairs
Are your kitchen doors looking dumpy? Is the counter top cracking? Is the plastic cover on your kitchen doors peeling or cracking; are your cupboard doors falling off? The Buildings Committee has funds to repair these items. Use the blue service request forms available in the office mailbox to submit a request. All requests will be reviewed and fixed in order of greatest need.
Time to turn off those outside taps
Fall is here and that means it is time to give the garden one last watering and then turn your outside taps off from the inside and leave the outside tap open so that it can drain properly.
