Siding Replacement

As some of you know we have been waiting for the siding supplier to replace defective siding on several buildings. The replacement siding has arrived and the installer has been waiting for the daytime temperature to rise before installing. The siding installer asks that if you think siding will be replaced on your building, please remove any valuable objects from the inside wall on which siding will be replaced. Pictures and other wall hangings may fall when the installers remove and replace siding on the exterior of the walls. If in doubt, remove items until the replacement is completed.

Snow Removal

If you see areas needing extra attention on the walkways, please call Sharon (755-7829). The ice buildup in the centers of the alleyways is very difficult to control as it builds up when the sun hits the roofs and water comes through the downspouts. At the same time the alleys themselves remain sun blocked and continue to freeze. As soon as we have any days that begin to melt the center alleyway ice, we will scrape those areas to get rid of as much of the ice as possible. Hope for sun!!

Fence Lights

Many of the lights are only working partially or not working at all. We have determined to wait to replace batteries until there is warmer weather and more sun during the day. The batteries are sensitive to cold and light, recently having a lot of cold and very little light. When better weather arrives we will replace the batteries.

Bill-Pay

If you are paying your Homeowner Association Dues through Bill-Pay at your bank, please make sure the address it is mailed to is, P.O. Box 6516, Logan, Utah 84341. This is the same address as on the statement sent out each month. Payments are no longer going to Allred, and Jackson. Thank you for remembering to do this. We want to make sure your payments are correctly recorded.

The Market

Right now is an excellent time to buy a home. Prices are low, long term interest rates are low, and the government has extended the stimulus incentives until April, 2010. FHA is increasing some of its requirements starting April 5, 2010. So if you know of anyone desiring to get into a new home, now would be a great time to do so. Remember, we will give you, a current Bridgerland Meadows residence, a year paid Homeowner Association dues for a buyer who is referred by you. Let us know so you can receive the appropriate credit.

New Construction

We are planning to start construction once again in April. We are very excited to “get going” again. As we complete Phase III, we will also be completing the long awaited Club House. So watch for the start of construction--- a good sign for us all.
