After attempting a different method of protection, it has been decided (as some of you know) that we will have to cover exposed areas (areas without brick) with tarps until new windows are installed and the area around the windows are fixed so that they keep water out. My understanding is that the tarp will be pulled off during the day when they work, as long as the weather is good. This will keep water intrusion at bay when an area is exposed.
Also, the contractors have asked us to stay away from the fenced-in areas where they work. Please be sure to stay on the opposite side of the street. They are taking necessary precautions; but they want us to be extra cautious since debris can sometimes fall in the street.
For those living on floors 4-10, please be aware that contractors will eventually need to get into your apartment when it comes time to replace your windows (they will be accompanied by DTS personnel). I will be given 48 hours notice before any window is taken out. I will pass this information to you as soon as possible. If you are in town when you receive this information, please clear out the area around the windows that are to be replaced so that the workers can work and so that your items are protected(they have requested at least 3 feet of clearance). For the safety and well-being of your window treatments, you should also take those down as well. If you are aware that your windows will likely be pulled out while you are out of town, please follow the procedures given above before you leave. I will give more details concerning the process of window installation in the coming days.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the project. If I am not able to answer adequately, I will find the right person who can.
Please continue to pray for your fellow residents who are closest to the noise and the safety of the workers.
