OCTOBER 2019
Folks, please please pay your monthly condo fees in a timely manner by the first day of the month in which they’re due. If your payment is received after the 10th a late fee will be added. We don’t have a huge problem with non-payers, but we plan a pretty tight budget for the Association so we can pay our bills each month. When even one owner doesn’t pay, it can create a problem that eventually reflects on the credit of the Association. If fees remain unpaid, the state of New Hampshire allows the delinquent owner to be denied services normally provided by the Association including (but not limited to) on-site parking.
We’ve mentioned this before, but unfortunately the units at Farmstead aren’t as soundproof as we’d like. Please try to be a good neighbor and keep the noise level from your unit as non-intrusive as possible. Avoid running on stairs (your children, too.) Use potentially noisy appliances such as washers, dryers, vacuum cleaners etc. after 8 in the morning and before 9 at night. Keep the volume on TVs, radios and “music machines” as low as possible. And please be aware of how annoying a dog that barks constantly can be.
Please remember we have a special dumpster for card board and the boxes need to be broken down before they are thrown in the bin(s). Right now there are three large boxes in the regular dumpster that haven’t been broken down and they’re taking up a lot of room.
Dennis is winding down his outside work for the Association, but if you’re planning an inside project for this winter and you need help (such as painting, general handy-man assistance, etc.) Dennis is available. He’s talented, innovative and prides himself on doing your work as efficiently, quietly and cost-effectively as possible. Call us at 358-0040 to make an appointment.
I’m sure you know this, but if you have an “Association issue” please contact CBPM to address it. I will get in touch with the Board if it’s a request.
L & G Propane’s locked-in rate for the 2019/2020 season is $1.399 per gallon.
We don’t mean to rush through fall, but winter is coming and you’re reminded to move vehicles for the snow plows when they’re working on site so our parking lots stay clear and safe. When you move your vehicle you can park it temporarily in the “safe parking” area on the Entrance Road, then return it to the usual spot when the plows leave. You do not have to move when the plows are working in the middle of the night, but you do have to move when they return for the cleanup. It would be great if we could give you a specific time for the return, but each storm is different and comes at different times. However, cleanup is usually done during the day, after a storm ends. When there is a storm residents just have to be alert and keep an eye out for the plows.
“Trick or Treating” in Keene will be 5:30 to 7:30 pm on Halloween. If you want youngsters in costume to visit you, leave your outside light on (which will keep them safer, too!)
Happy Halloween!!
