Carports have been refinished!Â
The work is almost complete on the pool and spa! The old plaster was removed and new installed, along with new tile along the rim and steps. Other improvements were made to abide by current health code standards, including dual rails into the spa and split drains. New energy-efficient LED lights have been put in as well. Closure will continue for awhile longer as the water is treated and to allow for county inspection. Thanks to all residents for your cooperation while the work is ongoing!

Work is complete on our 27 carports. This has been the biggest project in many years at Vermont Villas, taking over six months to complete. Coordination and cooperation from RAF Construction, Knudsen Roofing, the Board of Directors, Elite Management and all owners and residents allowed the work to be completed without major obstacles and ahead of schedule. All deteriorated wood has been either replaced or shored up, and new roofs with a 10 year warranty have been installed. Years of steady saving allowed this project to paid for from our reserve fund, instead of by special assessment. A big thank you goes to all who participated in this project, especially owners and residents who heeded the call to make their carports accessible for the work.

Wood Replacement Update
We're 2 1/2 years into replacing the wood siding and fascia on our buildings and the work has accelerated. The 2200 building is the latest to get this makeover, leaving 8 buildings still to be done. The siding is being replaced with HardiePanel, a fiber-cement product meant to look like wood but provide greater durability. The 1400, 1500, 2000 and 2100 buildings are next and hopefully will be finished by the end of 2014.

Backflows Installed
To fulfill a city requirement, backflow devices were installed at our water meters last week. Backflow occurs when water flows opposite to its normal or intended direction. This reverse flow of water may be caused by a sudden drop in water pressure and can result in contaminants being drawn into the water supply system. A backflow device prevents this. Thanks to all residents for your cooperation during the time water was shut off to your unit.

Volunteer Day
A small but hard-working band of volunteers got together the morning of November 16 to beautify the complex. Flower bulbs were planted at the front monuments and a couple of secret spots inside the complex, hopefully to produce a colorful spring show. The clubhouse, spa and pool areas were cleaned and swept, lampposts were cleaned and painted where needed, and some of our metal fencing was cleaned, scraped and painted. Be on the lookout for Volunteer Day, Spring 2014!

New Mulch
New bark mulch has been spread over many of the bare spots throughout our complex. In addition to looking nicer than bare dirt, the mulch assists in retaining moisture and preventing weeds.

Clean-up Day
Community Clean-up Day was held on May 18th. A small but mighty band of volunteers worked hard to spruce up our complex. Bright flowers were planted at our entries, trash was removed, the clubhouse, bathrooms and shower were cleaned as were the lounge chairs at the pool, carport storage bins and light fixtures were swept, light globes were cleaned, and our lampposts were cleaned and painted. Thanks to all community members who came out to make a great day!

New Doggie Bag Stations
A new doggie bag station has been added to the area next to the tennis courts. PLEASE respect the grounds and your neighbors by cleaning up after your dog - we want to keep our complex "waste-free". There are four bag stations throughout the complex for your use - if you notice a station is out of bags contact us at vermontvillas@gmail.com

New Community SignageÂ
Most of the signs inside our complex have been replaced in the past few weeks. There are new signs on the gate leading to Felicita Plaza, the tennis courts and at the trash bins. And, all the doors enclosing the trash bins were given a fresh coat of paint. New signs at the pool and spa were also recently installed. With our street-side signs facing Vermont Ave. having been replaced last year, we now have almost 100% new signage throughout the complex.

Wood Replacment Update
It's been over a year since we began replacing the wood siding and fascia on our buildings. The siding is being replaced with HardiePanel, a fiber-cement product meant to look like wood but provide greater durability. This work is complete at six of our buildings, with the 1600, 1700 and 1800 buildings the next to get this upgrade. Here's a picture of the work-in-progress at the 1600 building.

Fence Raised
The fence at our northwest corner bordering Felicita Plaza has been heightened. The old fence at this spot was only 3' high and presented easy access to our complex; raising the fence will reduce this vulnerability. The cost was shared between Vermont Villas and Felicita Plaza.Â
