Storm cleanup at last

After several postponements, mostly due to -- irony of ironies -- bad weather, the cleanup of debris caused by this winter's largest ice storm on The Terrace was cleaned up.

Our grounds crew gathered up cuttings from damaged trees that had to be taken down as well as broken limbs and branches some of you hauled out to the roadside.

Next up: Crossing our collective fingers for sustained warm weather and then the annual Terrace Cleanup, with a date to be set, Mother Nature willing.

Radon venting in progress

In case anyone notices some venting work being done at No. 13, it's safety-related.

During the building inspection prior to the sale of No. 13 (Leona Lohnes' former home), unsatisfactory radon levels were noted. Thus, the owner has scheduled remedial work to be done and informed the Terrace board about it.

Tree debris pickup Tuesday

The several-times-delayed pickup and chipping of Terrace tree debris left over from the ice storms of earlier this winter now is set for Tuesday, March 10.

As noted in earlier e-mails and Website postings, the workers also will be hauling away any tree debris you have dragged out to the road -- broken branches and limbs, any pieces you may have trimmed off, etc.

REMEMBER: While the cost of that, as well as the felling of several severely-damaged trees, is being borne by the Terrace Homeowners Association treasury, if you engage the workers to do any additional work -- for example, taking down any trees or doing any additional trimming on your private property -- THE COST IS YOURS.

Thanks for your patience during this period in which weather has delayed having this work done.
