THESE ARE THE LOVELY LADIES WHO DO THE PLANTINGS AROUND PELICAN POINTE. THEY THANK ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND TO BUY PLANTINGS. AND LOOK FORWARD TO MORE CONTRIBUTIONS. THEY ARE REALLY VERSATILE, HAVING BUILT THE BLOCK CURBING ON WHICH THEY HAVE THEIR FEET PLACED, NO SMALL FEAT! LATER THEY WILL PLACE SOME NICE PLANTS IN THESE AREAS WHICH HAVE BEEN PREPARED SO NICELY. THE REGULAR CONCRETE CURBING KEPT GETTING BROKEN BY TRUCKS MAKING TURNS AROUND THIS DIVIDING ISLAND. THE NEW SETUP ALLOWS MORE TURN SPACE FOR THE BIG TRUCKS. LEFT TO RIGHT: PAT RYAN, MARION CONLEY, CLAUDIA KRACHT

REVISED INFORMATION: NEW CONTACT PERSON: RHONDA ENGLEHART AT 772-473-0650 AT SCS.

WE WILL SOON POST MORE INFORMATION ON SERVICES SCS CAN PROVIDE TO UNIT OWNERS.

FOR THOSE WHO HAD HURRICANE DAMAGE TO THEIR KITCHENS OR BATHROOMS-

THIS IS THE FUN PART OF THIS WHOLE

LONG, AND DIFFICULT PROCESS!

I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SAMPLES BROUGHT INTO THE CLUBHOUSE

SHOWING SOME OF THE NICE WOOD CABINET DOOR MATERIALS AND ALSO

SOME SAMPLES OF THE CULTURED COUNTERTOP MATERIALS. WE PLACED SOME OF THE

COUNTERTOP SAMPLES NEXT TO THE WOODEN CABINET DOORS TO GIVE YOU AN

IDEA OF HOW THEY LOOK TOGETHER. SINCE THIS IS DEFINITELY A PERSONAL TASTE

MATTER AND YOU WILL BE DECIDING THAT ON YOUR OWN. FRANK MARSHALL


ON THE LEFT ARE SAMPLES AGAINST THE DARKER WOOD CABINET DOOR WHICH LOOKS VERY NICE TO ME.
ON THE RIGHT ARE MANY SAMPLES OF THE COUNTERTOP MATERIAL WHICH HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF COLORS TO CHOOSE FROM.

TO THE LEFT THE THREE WOOD SAMPLES WHICH WERE BROUGHT TO THE CLUBHOUSE ARE SHOWN.

NOTE: TO DISCUSS ANY OF YOUR CABINET NEEDS OR QUESTIONS CALL RHONDA ENGLEHART AT SCS (772) 473-0650

PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE BOARD MEMBERS. THE CABINETS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY NOT THE ASSOCIATION'S. YOU ARE FREE TO GET YOUR CABINETS DONE BY ANY RELIABLE LICENSED CONTRACTOR, BUT SCS SHOULD BE ABLE TO FURNISH THESE AT A GOOD PRICE IF A NUMBER OF OWNERS PURCHASE FROM THEM. THE CABINETS ARE MANUFACTURED IN MELBOURNE.

FLORIDA INSURANCE REGULATORS FIND NATIONWIDE INSURANCE, FOURTH LARGEST INSURER IN FLORIDA, UNDERPAID CLAIMS FROM CUSTOMERS FOR 2004 HURRICANE DAMAGES BY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
STATE NOW PLANS TO TAKE CAREFUL LOOK AT OTHER
INSURERS AS WELL FOR SIMILAR UNDERPAYMENTS.

WONDER IF THEY' LL CHECK EMPIRE INDEMNITY INSURANCE CO,?

HERE ARE PHOTOS OF THE SAMPLE BATHROOM VANITIES AND SINKTOPS ON DISPLAY NOW AT THE CLUBHOUSE. THESE ARE 19" DEEP WHILE THE ONES ORIGINALLY INSTALLED BY THE DEVELOPER WERE 21" DEEP. THEY ARE 31" WIDE, THE SAME AS THOSE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED (WHICH IS THE REALISTIC MAXIMUM THAT CAN FIT INTO THE SPACE BETWEEN THE WALL AND TOILET TANK IN OUR BATHROOMS.) IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET HIGHER UNITS IF YOU ARE TALLER AND PREFER THIS FOR COMFORT IN USE. HOME DEPOT AND LOWES ALSO HAVE A VARIETY OF MODELS YOU CAN CHECK OUT SOME WITH NICE SLIDING DRAWERS FOR STORAGE.

THE WORK IN THE CLUBHOUSE CONTINUES. THE PHOTO BELOW SHOWS THE FRAMING INSTALLED TO HOLD THE CEILING TILES IN PLACE.
ABOVE RIGHT IS THE LABEL ON THE ARMSTRONG TILE BOXES IN THE CLUBHOUSE WAITING TO BE PUT IN PLACE.
NOTE THEY ARE MADE OF ACOUSTICAL MATERIAL AND SHOULD HELP WITH THE NOISE LEVEL PROBLEMS WE HAD IN THE PAST.

REMEMBER LEFT CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT. CLICK ON "BACK" TO RETURN TO ORIGINAL SIZE.

GOOD NEWS FOR ALLSTATE POLICY HOLDERS.

NO, IT IS NOT A MR. AMERICA CONTEST!!

THESE ARE THE HEARTY VOLUNTEERS WHO WILL DO

A SURVEY FOR THE ASSOCIATION TO DETERMINE WHERE WE ARE

ON REPAIRS TO EVERY BUILDING AND UNIT.

ARRIVE AT YOUR UNIT. THEY ARE DOING AN IMPORTANT JOB FOR YOU!

ACCOMPLISHED, AND LATER WHEN ALL WORK IS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETED

A RESURVEY CAN BE DONE AND LISTS COMPARED TO CONFIRM

THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN COMPLETED BEFORE GIVING

FINAL PAYMENTS TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR.

LEVELING OF FOUNDATION SLAB
THE GUTTER DOWNSPOUTS WERE BLOWN AWAY ON A NUMBER OF
BUILDINGS WHICH CREATED A WATERFALL LIKE CASCADE OF WATER
DROPPING FROM ROOF LEVEL TO THE SANDY GROUND AND CONSEQUENT
WASHING AWAY OF THE SOIL AND CRACKING OF THE FOUNDATION SLAB.
TO RE-LEVEL THE FOUNDATION SLAB BREVARD GROUTING COMPANY IS DRILLING POST HOLES,
POURING MORTAR IN THESE HOLES, INSERTING REINFORCING RODS (RE-BARS) WITH A 90 DEGREE
BEND INTO THE MORTAR, AND THEN FILLING THE HOLE TO A LEVEL ABOVE THE RE-BAR. AFTER
THE MORTAR HAS SET FIRMLY HYDRAULIC JACKS WILL BE PLACED ON EACH FOUNDATION POST
AND THE FOUNDATION SLAB WILL BE VERY CAREFULLY JACKED BACK TO A LEVEL POSITION. THEN
THE HYDRAULIC JACKS WILL BE REPLACED WITH MECHANICAL (SCREW) JACKS. THESE SCREW
JACKS WILL THEN BE ENCASED IN MORTAR AND THE HOLES RECOVERED TO NORMAL LEVEL. THE
BUILDING BEING WORK UPON IN THE PHOTOS BELOW IS 5700 PELICAN POINTE DRIVE. A NUMBER
OF OTHER BUILDINGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE AND TWO MORE ARE TO BE COMPLETED.
AT LEFT POWER AUGUR IS USED IN DRILLING OF LARGE POST HOLE UNDER EDGE OF FOUNDATION SLAB.

IN THE PHOTO ABOVE RE-ROD IS PLACE INTO MORTAR FOR SUPPORT STRENGTH WHEN JACK IS USED,


THESE PHOTOS SHOW PUMPING OF MORTAR INTO POST HOLE (ABOVE TOP) AND THEN BRINGING MORTAR TO A LEVEL ABOVE THE RE-BAR (ABOVE. LOWER PHOTO ) WHICH WILL ALLOW PROPER PLACEMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC JACK FOR LIFTING THE SLAB FOUNDATION BACK INTO LEVEL POSITION,

MORE GOOD NEWS:

SHEET ROCK WORK BEGAN LAST WEEK
AND IS PROGRESSING QUICKLY. THOSE UNITS WHICH WERE
TAGGED AND NEEDED ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING WORK
MUST BE INSPECTED BY THE FIRE MARSHAL FOR PROPER
SEALING OF PENETRATIONS AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE THEY MAY BE INSULATED AND SHEET ROCKED.

TO THE LEFT ANOTHER LOAD OF SHEET ROCK ARRIVES AT MARINA DRIVE ON FRIDAY. THESE LOADS DISAPPEAR QUICKLY ONTO THE UNIT WALLS

BELOW IS A ROOM IN 5760 MARINA DRIVE

WHICH HAS BEEN SHEET ROCKED, BUT STILL NEEDS TAPE AND SPACKLE APPLIED BY THE WORKERS TO PROVIDE A SMOOTH BASE FOR YOUR PAINT JOB.
ANOTHER ROOM IN 5760 MARINA DRIVE, ALSO SHEET ROCKED BUT NEEDING TAPE AND SPACKLE FINISHING.

TWO OF OUR LIVELY AND LOVELY LADIES LOOK OVER THE PAINT JOB

IN THE CLUBHOUSE. NOTE THE COLOR THEME MATCHING SHORTS ON ELLIE MORGAN, MEMBER OF THE UMBRELLA BOARD AND ON CLAUDIA KRACHT, WIFE OF ANOTHER UMBRELLA BOARD MEMBER, JEFF KRACHT. THE SHEET ROCK CEILING HAS BEEN COMPLETED TO MEET FIRE CODE REQUIREMENTS, AND THE HANGER RODS FOR THE DROPPED ACOUSTICAL CEILING HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE. SHORTLY THE CEILING FRAMEWORK WILL BE INSTALLED AND THE TILES LAID IN.

AFTER THE CEILING IS COMPLETED THE NEW FLOORING WILL BE SET IN PLACE.

HERE ARE THE SAMPLES OF FAUCETS AND SINKS AT THE CLUBHOUSE AS POSSIBLE SELECTIONS FOR THOSE WHO
NEED TO REPLACE HURRICANE DAMAGED FIXTURES.
THE BATHROOM SINK FAUCET ON THE LEFT BELOW IS THE STANDARD REPLACEMENT THE ASSOCIATION WILL PROVIDE, THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS AN UPGRADE FOR WHICH THE
UNIT OWNER WOULD NEED TO PAY THE PRICE DIFFERENTIAL.


THE KITCHEN SINK FAUCETS TO
THE LEFT SHOW THE STANDARD, ASSOCIATION FURNISHED FAUCET ON THE LEFT, AND THE MORE ELABORATE UPGRADE, WITH SPRAYER HOSE IN THE FAUCET NOZZLE ON THE RIGHT, FOR WHICH THE UNIT OWNER WOULD NEED TO PAY THE PRICE DIFFERENTIAL.

THIS HIGH SHINE STAINLESS STEEL 8 INCH DEEP DOUBLE KITCHEN SINK TO THE RIGHT IS THE UPGRADED MODEL, FOR WHICH THE UNIT OWNER WOULD NEED TO PAY THE PRICE DIFFERENTIAL OVER THE STANDARD KITCHEN SINK
TO THE LEFT IS THE STANDARD STAINLESS STEEL DOUBLE KITCHEN SINK WITH A DEPTH OF 6 INCHES. THIS IS THE MODEL THE ASSOCIATION WOULD PROVIDE AND IS THE SAME BASIC TYPE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED IN THE UNITS BY THE DEVELOPER.
