Improvements

We know that it may not look like it from the outside, but many improvements to the pool and common area have already been made this season, and more (and more visible) changes are yet to come.  

We have had new aluminun facia and soffett facing put on the buildings.  We have installed a new ventilation fan in the pump house to help with the chlorine fumes.  We have replaced the stolen clock and thermometer.  The leaking hose bib has been replaced and a new door has been installed on the pump house.  The sprinkler timer was malfunctioning and has not only been replaced but also relocated to move it away from the chlorine fumes (they damage electronics).  Several sprinkler line repairs have been made.  Several bushes have been removed in anticipation of the upcoming landscaping.  The broken light on the fence has been fixed.  Additional chairs have been bought for the pool deck.  And, one of our most expensive repairs this season - a new pool filter has been installed.  

We have also put in our order for a whole bunch of new trees along the perimeter of the property, and they will be planted later this fall.   The landscaping of the pool and fence area will begin soon, and we are looking at options for removing the wall at the front of the common area and replacing it with an updated entrance sign.  

If you notice other repairs that need to be made, or have other suggestions for improvements, we would love to hear from you.  You can contact the association members or send an email to cimarronestateshoa@yahoo.com.

Landscaping

Landscaping is in the works and we hope that work will begin very soon.  We have been told by the landscaper that he is going to try to start our project about the third week of August.   

The Lawn

So, the lawn is finally green again...

As many of you noticed, we experienced some problems with the sprinklers.  Turns out our sprinkler timer wasn't reacting too well to the chlorine fumes in the pump house and had decided to go a little haywire.  Cory has replaced the timer for us and has now located it away from the chlorine fumes.  With a little persuasion the grass has greened up quite nicely. 

We also had nearly 15ft of sprinkler pipe that was damaged and had to be replaced.  A huge thank you to our president, Cory, who spent a full Saturday in the hot sun making repairs!
