Elections: Elections were held after the deadline for submission of this article. Results will be posted in the December newsletter.
Daylight Savings Time: Sunday, November 3rd. Remember to turn your clocks back an hour before you go to sleep on Saturday night and don’t forget to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. If your Condo has gas, please make sure that you have a carbon monoxide detector and that the batteries are checked if needed.
Fire Alarms: Our fire alarm inspections have been completed. Please remember hard-wired smoke detectors are connected to our main fire alarm system and should not be removed.
Outside water spigots: It’s time to shut the water off! If you have the valve for the outside water spigot in your unit, please make sure it is turned off to prevent it from freezing and causing a flood. If it’s not in your unit, please remind your neighbor to turn the water off.
• Open the outside spigot and leave it open.
• Shut the valve inside so that all the water can drain.
• Leave the outside valve open until spring.
Basement: The basement will be open on Saturday November 9 between 10:15am-10:30am.
Also, an additional Saturday has been added on November 30 between 10:15am-10:30am.
Plumbing: Avoid wastewater backup in your condo. Only toilet paper and what nature intends should be flushed down the toilet. Do not put Q-tips, dental floss, hair, tissues, paper towels, wipes, and sanitary products down the toilet. Kitchen grease belongs in the garbage and not in the drain.
Snowbirds: Before you leave for the winter:
• LEAVE A KEY with a neighbor and update emergency contact info with the HOA Office. Let Condo III know who has your key in case of an emergency.
• DO NOT TURN YOUR HEAT OFF. Turn the thermostat no lower than 55
degrees. If the pipes burst, you could be held responsible for the cost of the repairs.
• CLOSE ALL WATER VALVES to the sinks, toilets, dishwashers, washing machines and water heaters. For all units with inside shut off valves to the outside water, please make sure you close the inside valve and open the outside bibs.
• Bretton Woods Maintenance Dept. can drain the hot water heater at your expense.
• DISCONNECT all TV’s computers, stereos, microwave and clock radios by pulling out the plugs.
• DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR in your parking lots, leave it in the long-term parking area we have on Birchwood Rd in parking plaza #39.
Long-Term Parking: If you will be away for longer than 7 days, we request that you leave your car in our long-term parking lot no matter the time of year. These spots are marked and located on the north side of PP 39 on Birchwood Road. There is NO charge to park here. This area is only for Condo III residents. We are also asking that you notify someone on the Board that you will be away for an extended period of time. This will enable us to address any issues that may arise regarding parked cars or any issues with your unit while you are away.
