MAY 2020
Bears are still out. Please continue keep all birdfeeders in!! We will let you know as soon as it is ok to put them back out.
Although the Board and Management are not holding monthly meetings due to social distancing, we are communicating and keeping up to date via (almost daily) emails. If you have any questions or concerns at this time, please contact my office 358-0040 or email cbpmdiane@aol.com or you contact one of the Board members. Although I am not in my office every day, I am available by phone at all times and check my email regularly.
I’ve had a few emails and calls from residents of Farmstead concerned about other residents not wearing masks. Wearing of masks in public is not mandatory; however it is strongly suggested by NH Health Officials. Please practice social distancing while outside at Farmstead.
As the weather gets warmer, we would like to remind all that the common grounds are for the use of everyone, but please be courteous and considerate when outside. Children should avoid playing in front of neighbor units especially with balls, Frisbees, etc anything that could hit or damage a window, door or car. Bikes, scooters etc should not be ridden in the carports and no one should be playing or hanging out in carports (unless it is your own) at any time.
Although we are still on stay at home recommendations, Farmstead is moving along with 2020 repair and maintenance projects. A new roof will be installed on Units 49-60 and Units 1-12 will be painted this year. Roof work should begin at the end of this month and painting to start at the end of June. The road asphalt work is hold for a few reasons: (1) At this time, we would be unable to have a full ownership meeting to vote on the financing / funding of the work. (2) The banks we are speaking with about loans are inundated with PPP loans for small businesses. The two banks we are working with are very helpful and are gathering the information for us to review. (3) We probably won’t be able to gather the financial information and hold a meeting/vote in a timely enough manner to secure the vendor to have the work done this year. We will be sure to keep all owners posted as we progress and get closer to an informational presentation meeting being held.
The Board and Management however will be working with a vendor to make asphalt repairs throughout the driving and parking areas in 2020. Repairs to buildings will continue as time and funds allow. I am told a hunter carrying a rifle was seen walking behind one of the buildings, if you should see this happening again, please contact Keene Police 357-9815 or NH Fish and Game 352-9669. Here’s hoping everyone continues to stay safe & healthy!
