Recent work in pictures
The first
round of unit renovations were completed in March with 32
units done. Included were one of the handicap units
The unit
has a roll in shower, grab bars and other accessible features
Hand held
shower
Fold down
shower seat
Grab bars
around toilet
At the
same time a new patio area dedicated to Cafe customers has
been created near the volcano pool
A different
color paver was used to distinguish the Cafe area
New tables,
a small out bar and logo umbrellas will be installed next
All of
the foliage around the pool gets refreshed
Some was
planned for the general landscape upgrade and some were replaced
due to the harsh, below normal temperatures earlier this year
Another
scheduled project was renovation of the pool bathrooms.
As can
often occur when the work started the actual condition was
much worse than anticipated
It turns
out that water and dry rot damage was severe.
Much of
the building was actually being supported by the exterior
stucco!
It was
fortunate the damage was discovered through planned maintenance
as a serious storm could have caused a possible collapse of
the building.
Making
the building meet access standards and to improve the layout
required relocation of some plumbing and electrical.
