Canal Side Repairs/Maintenance Project:
General discussions regarding work on first units: The last report indicated that very little damage had been discovered in the first units. Since then the third floor siding has been removed and significant water damage and rot has been found. The first two units have had the water-damaged wood replaced, new sliding doors and windows installed and approximately half of the new vinyl siding installed. The footings for the second level decks have not been started for these units.
Some issues have surfaced since the project started; 1) Where does the association/contractor responsibility end when inside trim, sub-flooring, etc. must be replaced, 2) Existing decking is inconsistent in structure which is impacting labor for the footings and concerns that the unit owners may not be satisfied with the end results. Frank Dean has been talking with the contractor about these issues and will bring recommendations to the next board meeting.
