Front Entrance: The limestone for the front entrance sign has been completed. This will eliminate the cost of $250 per replacement letter due to vandalism. Decorative rock has been placed around each island with a ring of mulch for the plants in the center. The front entrance electrical continues to be a problem due to a short in the wiring. Hopefully this will be corrected in the spring.
What are your thoughts regarding the front entrance? Are we on the right track with the mulch and rock? Should the rock be extended over the entire island? Do you have any other ideas to maintain the entrance yet reduce costs? Contact information can be found in the upper left on this page.
