Pool Roof
We have
hired an engineer to evaluate the issues with the pool building roof. The
analysis will begin immediately with thermography tests and conclude with an
engineer’s report. The reason we have hired the engineer is two-fold:
1. The pool building is affected by a
number of complex realities including humidity from below, high indoor
temperatures, ventilation, condensation, skylights, and the roof itself. We do
not have the skills in-house to evaluate the entirety of the issues. This is
particularly important as we have a wide variety of bids ranging from
contractors of $8,000 to $60,000. Obviously, each bidder has a different idea
of what is necessary and we want to fix this properly.
2. The contractors are telling us that
with an engineer’s report, they will extend their guarantee. Otherwise, the
most they will offer is five years. The
people who did the repair last year did not guarantee their work at all.
Depending
on what is needed, the repair may begin right away. However, due to the cold
winter and late start of the roofing season, a more comprehensive repair may
only be possible in the late summer. We’ll keep you informed when we know.
Pool Water Quality
The water
quality is excellent right now although it is not quite as clear as it was
about 2 months ago. Little by little it is clearing up but it will still take a
bit of time before it returns to its former pristine state.
Jacuzzi
You will
notice that one of our Jacuzzis has been shut down for the week. Once again,
someone has introduced bubbles to water and it requires hours of work to get it
working properly again. We hope to have it working early in the week; however,
we would like to remind you of the necessity to shower prior to using the Jacuzzi.
As you can
imagine, the extra amount of work in the area is putting a lot of pressure on
our superintendents and is using time that they can spend on more important
chores.
