Now that the warmer weather is here, I find myself sitting outside on my back patio at all times of the day. In the morning, I may drink coffee and skim magazines; in the afternoons, I often enjoy the outdoors while I work on my computer; at night after my daughter goes to bed, my husband and I play some gin rummy. This space is an extension of our home. I spend a lot of time there and enjoy it very much, but that doesn’t mean I want to break the bank while adding some special touches and design elements. Therefore, I came up with some DIY ideas to spruce up an outdoor space that are gentle on the pockets.
Improving your outdoor space essentially involves bringing your living room outside. You want it to be inviting, inspiring, and comfortable for you and your guests to have great conversation in a welcoming setting. Small changes, such as adding fresh flowers and potted plants, setting mood lighting, and incorporating accent pieces, can make a big difference in a small space like a patio, porch, or veranda.

From the earliest of times, people have communed around the campfire, telling tales and sharing personal stories. Gathering around the fire brings us together, and a backyard fire pit is the perfect spot to kick back and relax.
Fire pits provide ambiance, warmth, light, and a place to gather and entertain. It’s no wonder that they are high on homeowners’ wish lists. Basking in the glow of a beautiful fire can be romantic – enough that you might just opt for a staycation to watch those sparks fly.

The spa will open on Friday. The bathroom electrical work has been rescheduled to Monday at 6am to assure they are open for the busy weekend. Next week ( time and date to be announced ) the gym will be closed for replacement of lighting and ceiling fans.
 
Thanks for your continued understanding.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share that the BBQ's have lived a full and active life and are being retired. New ones have been ordered and will be installed per the vendor contract.
Additionally, inspection of the BBQ area cement picnic tables and benches have lived a full life and new ones have been ordered for replacement.
Last, but certainly not least, interior remodeling will begin late this week or early next week. A temporary POD will be placed on our parking lot to store our files and furniture. A small temporary desk will remain in the Community Center Office until demolition of the flooring and lighting begins. At that time a temporary office will be placed; location to be announced. Right now the landscape in the front of the Community Center is being replaced with a drought tolerant theme that will greatly reduce our consumption of water. Many maintenance items are still happening and we thank you for your patience as we continue to upgrade the Community Center for everyone's enjoyment.
