Work is almost completed on building the retainer wall to prevent the washout under condo 101 and along the beach. One of our owners who owns the land to the left of the retainer wall has not maintained his property and the erosion here is leading to our washout problems. Had we known that the pending sale of unit 101 was going to be so costly to the HOA, we could have waited on the wall, although the owners would likely have demanded that this wall be built just as they have demanded immediate repairs to everything found by the inspector who looked at their condo. The HOA has spent about $1,000 so far on this unit, but more items are pending.
The roofing project has now been rescheduled to start early next week. It had to be put off from this week as we resolved the issues raised by the engineer who reviewed our attic ventilation problems. Replacement of the rotten fascia boards is progressing. The 700,100, and 200 buildings have been completed except for painting. Work on the roofing will start on the 100 building. I will meet with the roofer on Monday to get things coordinated.
We are still running on one lift station pump. The new pump failed six weeks ago and is still in for repair. The last report was that the repair will cost $2,200 and they are not covered under the warranty. Actually, we not yet been invoiced for the initial purchase so we are looking at about a $7,000 cost that was not budgeted. I'm just anxious to get the second pump up and running because if the lone working pump failed, I don't have any idea what we would do. The last time we checked for a replacement pump, we heard we would have to have one imported from Sweden.
We have been working with a water leak problem in the 700 building this week. An upstairs unit had a bad gasket on the bath tub that allowed a lot of water to leak into the unit below. There was a lot of damage. Fortunately, the upstairs unit is managed by Coastal Bend Management and they are just super. They arranged all the rapairs in both units.
