Lo and Behold
Never have we witnessed so many people labor for so long for so little result in the Retreat.
At least not in the time since we moved in back in May of 2004.
The center Landscape Island (Mystery Island) is now, after 5 days of Men and big and small Machines, approx. 12' shorter on each end. We now have an approx. 6' x 12' area of solid grey stone pavers near street level on each end were the landscape area was.
It was around the middle of last week when I thought I would call ECS (company doing the above work) and ask them when the center Island would be landscaped.
I was told that they had no contract to do any work in that center island.
And then Mystery Island ended up on the to-do list at the next Board meeting.
And Lo and Behold, The construction began with orders (I suspect) to begin and finish by the annual owners meeting.
I bet those of you living or staying in the east end of the neighborhood wish they had seen fit to spend the time and money repairing your beach walkover.
Perhaps the board wants to show that they can get something,anything,done.
Mabye we should have 4 owners meetings a year.
It's like company's coming over and the house is a mess.
People are hopping around here.
The mowers are cutting the weeds by the curbs.
The Katrina sand is cleaned out of the Hot Tub!
Common area works Projects are started (Mystery Island)
Contractors clean up around your sites!
My question is,
Why can't it be like that the other 50 weeks of the year?
