Dear Sugar Beach Condominium Owners:
As summer's drawing
to a close, I wanted to send everyone a quick note to update you on
your Sugar Beach Condominiums property!
Here's what's
new:
-- The sand filters have been
changed in both the east and west pools.
-- New tennis court lights
have been ordered.
-- The drain pipe
near the north elevator has been re-routed.
-- The lounge chair
covers have been replaced.
-- The sprinklers
on the north side of the building have been totally replaced.
-- The east side
sprinklers have been repaired, and all sprinklers on the property are
now fully functional. By using Randy’s Rapid Repair to repair the east
side sprinklers, we saved $2,400 from the original estimate to replace
all of the sprinklers.
Here are some
items that are in the works:
-- Requested
estimates on flowers for the front of the property.
-- Requested
estimates on resurfacing the tennis court.
-- Stairway doors
will be repainted soon.
-- A mailbox will
be placed at the street for guest use.
-- We are planning
to re-paint the roof of the guard shack.
-- We are planning
to paint the outside doors of owners closets on the balconies.
-- We will be pressure washing and
painting signs where needed on the parking lot.
-- Repainting of
hallways will start after Labor
Day.
-- Water main pipes
on the north side of the building will be wrapped.
I hope everyone is
having a terrific summer. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have
any questions. I am looking forward to seeing many of you this October!
Warmest regards,
Patrick McIntosh

Dear
Sugar Beach Owners & Board
Members:
My name is Patrick McIntosh. I'm married with three children and live
in Orange
Beach. Many of you probably know I am the new property manager. I
decided to
wait until after the July 4 holiday to post this message on the website
to make
sure everything here was ready for our guests.
Things are moving along great at Sugar Beach. We have installed new
irrigation
at the North end of the building, and the grass looks great. We had
some issues
with exit, parking and stairwell lighting that have all been addressed.
And,
the two big beach pools will be receiving a sand filter change soon.
Having started in the middle of the summer season, it has been a
challenge, but
things are going well so far. If you’ll bear with me, I’ll post more
frequently
on what’s going on here at your Sugar Beach.
I look forward to meeting all of you and am working to update the
owners’ list
with names, phone numbers and email addresses. So, if you could email
your
contact information to me at sugarbeachmanager@gulftel.com,
I
would
appreciate
it.
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to make Sugar Beach even
better
than it already is.
Warmest regards,
Patrick McIntosh

Hi,
Everyone
What a wonderful time of year it
is here at Sugar Beach -- if it would just stop raining. We have been
working on the painting of floors and have had a time of getting the
job completed with all the rain. But we will get it done by spring (if
we are not floating in an ark by then)!
New bollards have been installed
in the parking lot. Those are the rusted out yellow poles near the
electric meters. And there have been some owners in doing repairs and
upgrades to their units. We will soon begin painting and/or replacing
balcony doors.
The non-slip surface on the
stairs is a huge hit with everyone. And we are still working on the
parking lights as they burn out to replace them with energy-saving
lights.
The heat pumps on the west pool
are up and running, but we had a problem with one of them and just got
it fixed, so it should be nice and warm for our winter guests.
I hope you find Sugar Beach
improving very time you visit the complex. It is an older building and
always in need of something and it’s just great to see it as that
happens.
I have been here at Sugar Beach
for six months and still haven’t met everyone yet. Bear with me as I
learn everyone's names!
Thank you for all the positive
response on what is going on here, and please accept my sincerest
wishes for a Happy Holiday Season!
Warmest Regards,
Patrick McIntosh
