A New BBQ!
We’re happy to announce that the Board has authorized purchase of a new BBQ!  It will replace the smaller unit on the patio.  The new grill is roughly the same size as the larger existing BBQ.  It should be delivered and installed in the next week or two.  Just a reminder that grilling of any type is prohibited on balconies and patios, so use our new grill!
 
Water Outage Reminder
Wednesday, 7/17 at 6pm through 5am Thursday, 7/18, there will be no water.  Please prepare as you did for the last outage and let the water run for a bit before jumping into the shower.  We will have a plumber onsite from 6am-8am on Thursday to handle any restoral issues.  Please EMAIL Lana or stop by the office if you have any problems that morning.
 
Fun Facts about your Smoke Detectors
With the disabled fire horn situation, we’ve had a lot of smoke detector questions!  Your smoke detectors are hard-wired together, but not to the system.  This prevents the building from being alerted to your burnt popcorn or morning bacon!  Since they are tied together, they communicate.  If one has a low battery, they will all eventually beep until each unit has fresh batteries.  The number of detectors is required by law based on the size and number of bedrooms in your home.  It is also a law that you have the detectors on the ceiling and operable.  Taking them down or disabling them, may cause a fine by the fire department (if they have reason to enter your unit) or your insurance denying a fire related claim.  Take care of yourself, your family and our community by keeping fresh batteries in all of your smoke detectors!
