Scott, Ray, and Paul(505) worked both yesterday and today placing over 3000 pounds of cement in the slots of the breakwater where the sand is sneaking in and silting up our channel. One estimate we have is for a project of over $100k to stop the silting. We feel we can save most all of this by filling these gaps and hoping the newly built spillway will work as a deterrent to sand entering the channel from off our beach. They completed the north side of the wall, but will have to work on the south wall later.
What I see though is a few owners working so hard to do all the things to maintain our property and save money, but at what personal cost? Most owners purchased their condos with the expectation of enjoying their time here and not spending long weekends working. What I see here is not sustainable and I would have to include my work in that category too.
I can conceive of only one solution and that is to build a residence for a resident property manager/rental agent. I presented this plan at the last owners' meeting, but it was for informational purposes only. This year we need to take a serious look at doing this.
