Spring 2015 Newsletter
Spring 2015 Hamstead Crossing Newsletter In This Issue Well... Tax Day is done and pollen is upon us! It is so nice to see the lovely signs of Spring and our Community coming alive with all the Spring blooms - the pollen, not so much! We've had lots of activity going on at Hamstead Crossing, in spite of the winter weather. Winter Projects Spring Yard Sale To-Do;s & To-Don'ts Pool Opening Safety Tips Reminder for Homeowners Winter Projects Kudos to our Maintenance staff for sprucing up our entrance signs - new paint for both signs and the replacement of the light fixture on the 5500 side!! It certainly is nice to be able to see the sign again at night when coming down Duraleigh. All of our dumpsters have been replaced. Trees and limbs that came down with the winter ice and wind storms were cleared. New batches are awaiting pick-up. A major sewage problem was fixed on the 5600 side. Repair and painting prep work began on building 5500-5508 as weather permitted. The actual painting has now started and is looking great! Spring Yard Sale Mark Your Calendar!!! Several neighbors are organizing a Spring Yard Sale to be held Saturday May 16, 2015 from 7:00 am to 12:00 noon. The more to participate the merrier - and the more things will likely be sold! So... gather up all those things you've been meaning to "do something with", figure out the prices (the lower the better for sales), mark your items, and get ready for the day! More information to follow - watch for notices in e-mail, on the web site, and posted around the neighborhood!

As the weather improves, please take the time to walk around your unit and check for any items that need attention. Complete & submit a Maintenance request form if repairs are needed. Gas/charcoal grills are not allowed on or under wooden decks or too near the Unit when being used. Pick up after your dogs!!! Every time!!! PLEASE!!! Poop bags are available at every dumpster.

Individuals with skin abrasions, inflamed eyes, wearing bandages, etc., are not allowed in the pool. Telephone is available for Emergency Calls only! Safety Tips AC units: Please schedule a spring check of your air conditioning unit. This will help ensure that you are not without AC when summer arrives and it is HOT, HOT, HOT. Don't forget to change the Air Filters on a regular schedule! Remember to schedule annual Termite Inspections. Termite damage is being discovered as maintenance work is done. Homeowners are responsible for the cost of inspection, prevention, treatment & repairs and repairs can become quite costly! Carbon Monoxide and Smoke/Fire Detectors: Check the batteries (good idea to change them twice a year when the time changes). Check to see if any of the units have an expiration date - some do! Replace if needed. Check washing machine hoses that are over 5 years old as they may dry and crack causing a water leak. Check your water heater - with the tanks upstairs, any leak can become costly and require extensive home repair. Note: Many companies offer an annual plumbing inspection which will include a check for both of these water problems.
