Thanks to those who showed up today (in the rain!) to help with a few projects around the neighborhood. Our turnout was smaller than last week, but we still had around 10 adults show up to participate. A group of women picked up several bags of trash around the development. A group of men repaired the pedestrian gate that's been broken for months. Several others helped clean up tree branches that blew down during the recent windstorm.
Here is the latest on the gate: the motors seem to be working just fine, which is a good thing. My husband Chris thinks the problem is in the control box (located at the keypad). He removed the control box and is attempting to diagnose the problem as I type this. If he can't figure it out within the next couple of days, we'll go ahead and call Sutherland and have them come out. We will contact Qwest this week to get the phone line up and running again.
Back to the pedestrian gate: The men spent a lot of time and effort to repair the gate. Parents, please remind your children that it's not a toy to swing on. It would be a real shame for the gate to break again. Thank you.
And thanks to all who came out and helped today! We will wait a few weeks before planning another work party. Didn't get around to the flags, so that will be on the list again.

My husband went ahead and took down the flags in our back yard since he wasn't going to be able to help on Sunday. He is going to go over to my neighbors and offer to take theirs down too. He put them by the Sterling trailer - hope that is okay.
Actually, I could have my sons do it also. They helped their dad on Saturday and know how now - we'll do the best we can with contacting our neighbors to get those done and then that will be one less thing on the "to do" list.
