Saturdays

Mid-Con will be working on Saturdays from here on to maintain their schedule (weather permitting).

Protect Your Property

Please be aware that the ReCladding Project does involve vibrations that could potentially cause a valuable item to fall off a wall or shelf.

If you are concerned about the possibility of your personal belongings falling and becoming damaged due to the vibrations caused by the project then please put your valuables in a safer place.

New Screens

If you have new windows, you will get new screens once the scaffolding in your area of the building is removed and the hoist joints in that area are repaired by workers on swing stages.

After the scaffolding is removed and hoist joints are repaired, the new windows in that area will receive screens, safety stops, and an inspection.

Please do not ever lean out of yourself or let a visitor or family member lean out of a window (this is extremely dangerous, for most of you that goes without saying....).

Next Demo Phase

It looks like the next demo phase should start as early as tomorrow. The units most affected during this phase will be the '10's, '11's and '12's.

Contractors scheduled to work this Saturday

Extended Time for WH Use

As indicated during the construction meeting on Monday evening, I have been assured that the residents of Washington Hall will be pleased to share their pool and grills with you while the Swiss Tower courtyard is closed to maintain construction safety.

In order to provide access, a Courtesy Officer will remain on duty for an additional two hours each weekday evening, from 4:30 - 6:30 PM. Simply ring the Courtesy Officer as directed at the front door of Washington Hall in order to enter the building. Please be prepared to display your Swiss Tower fob to the Courtesy Officer upon entry into the building or he/she will not allow you into the lobby.

PLEASE REMEMBER that any time you or your children exit the pool area, you will be locked out and must re-enter through the front doors of Washington Hall.

Please share your appreciation with the Washington residents for sharing the space and at the same time be courteous to them while using the grills and pool.

Rain Today, No Pool Tomorrow...

Additional labor was brought in from out of town to get the needed scaffolding erected this week to take Friday off; but the rain today is forcing them to have to work tomorrow to stay on schedule.

For this reason, the ST pool will now NOT be open tomorrow (Friday, Sept 3rd). The ST pool WILL be open Sat-Mon (Sept. 4th-6th).

I have been assured that even if it does rain tomorrow, we will still have the pool Saturday-Monday.

ReCladding Meeting Summary

I would like to thank all who attended the ReCladding Meeting last night for your presence and participation. I would also like to thank all of you for your continued patience and endurance as we push forward through this very grueling but very necessary project.

For those who were unable to make it, I have listed below some of the important points that were made at the meeting:

• Through the process of already completing most of what needs to be done on the St. Joseph elevation, MCR and Childress have learned much concerning what the situation is behind the brick and have been able to hone their processes so that they now are able to accomplish more in less time. For this reason, we are currently on schedule to finish the courtyard around the end of November and the project as a whole around the end of December.
• This weekend (starting SATURDAY morning and ending Monday evening), the ST pool will be open. MCR has been working overtime to be able to take this time off and they are currently preparing the pool area and courtyard to make the pool (not the courtyard) available to us during their time off.
• It has been decided that ST residents will have access to the Washington Hall Pool and Grills, Monday-Friday, 9am-6:30pm. Here's how it works:
• You will need to hold up your ST fob so that front desk person can see it and buzz you in.
• You will need to tell the front desk person that you are from ST and would like to use the pool and/or grills
• The front desk person will then buzz you into the door leading to the hall which will take you to the pool and grill area.
• Once you are out in the pool and grill area, you will not be able to get back into the building from that door.
• You will only be able to leave Washington Hall by using the side gate which leads out of the pool area and then out the pedestrian gate to St. Joseph.
• Maintenance is also looking into the possibility of getting a grill up and running by Mitchell. I will update you once I have more information.
• Please continue to contact me with any issues or concerns that you have with the ReCladding Project.
