Communicate and Assess
SPECIAL SHOUT OUT!
Victor and the Board are very grateful to the volunteers who helped on Saturday and Sunday with the door-to-door initial inspection for visible water damage:
Tim and Leigh Ballou (35 Bunker)
Allen Bowman (19 Fairway, 16 Pinehurst)
Tom Maston (18 FoxFire)
Jennifer Manchester (19 Pinehurst)
Your help was really appreciated and it enabled us to complete this work done in record time.
Additionally, Victor has shared a preliminary report with the board. Once it is reviewed, we will be working to close gaps with units we were not able to complete and to communicate results, as necessary and appropriate. The next step will be exterior and roof reviews that will be completed with drones and by vision, as well.

Our responsible and dedicated maintenance supervisor, Victor, has stayed in the community during Dorian. As long as he is able to be connected, he is providing the board with updates on conditions and the health of our property.
Here is a timeline with his email updates so far: Thursday, 6:25 a.m. - Many tornado warnings nearby, but no issues at CD. All the county pumps and our pond pump are working and doing their job. It is still dark but nothing looks to be damaged. Thursday, 11:22 a.m. - At this time, everything visible from the outside appears to be okay. We have no shingles or chimney caps/vents missing. No trees are down. All roads in the community are open. Friday, 7:00 a.m. - Victor is working to clear the roadway of major debris. Have a tree down in the patio home area. He has shared that it didn't hit a house, it is just in the road. We lost the Caswell Dunes entrance sign. |
