While we have recently spent a LOT of money addressing safety issues, to me, the roof is a really big problem. This picture is of the end of 601. The tiles are missing nails and only gravity is holding them in place. A good wind will bring them down like a bunch of dominoes. Some tiles on the edge of 608 have already fallen. The solution here is simple. Replace the missing nails with longer screws or nails. The original nails were far too short and longer ones should do the trick. Tony told me that a roofing company was being contacted to come out to reattach the loose tiles. With all the recent heavy rains, I would have thought we would have had some leaks from this, but I have heard of none.
The board had discussed obtaining a roof certification from someone to attest to the integrity of our roof. Karra reported at the last board meeting that roof certification must be a California thing and it does not exist in Texas. Texas does however, have roof consultants that are not affiliated with any commercial roofing activities or companies. Contracting with one would probably be about the same thing as a roof certification. The problem with having roofing companies check out our roof is that they have a financial interest in seeing that this roof is replaced at a great cost. I think I know what they would say if asked if we need a completely new roof.

Last Wednesday a State of Texas truck, perhaps a GLO truck, parked at the end of the pavement nearest the Phase II pier. Two women walked along our bulkhead and took several pictures from about 108 all the way to Richy's new bulkhead. Someone speculated that since a personal injury accident had occurred during the construction of the new bulkhead there may be an investigation or even a question about permitting for the bulkhead. I understand that the injured worker is not a happy camper and may be looking to cause some trouble. Phase I is not involved in this issue.

Marv went with another fishing guide last Saturday. As has been the case, the reds were easy and the trout not so easy. They caught their limit of reds in no time in Redfish Bay, but only four trout at Traylor Island.

The annual owner's meeting will be held on the second Saturday in November. A board meeting will be held at 4 pm on the preceding Friday afternoon.
