Fallin spallin....


Today I finally did notice a bit of the newly installed concrete edging had fallen off. This photo was taken of the garden side of Building 1, about mid-section of the building.
I saw this as I was on my way to the beach with the thermometer - and I can report that the ambient temperature in the shade was 76f as was the sea water temperature. The temp in the pool was a whisker under 74f. I put the thermometer in the flow of water coming into the pool but could not get any improvement on the reading.
As you know I live on the 6th floor of Building 2 and today there has been lots of action carrying sliders and screens up to the penthouse, so refurbishment must be underway up top. Be good to see the tatty railings replaced too. The flashing and guttering has been done on the front two terraces together with the water chutes.
David and Jacques have been getting their exercises walking the halls double checking all the lighting, as well as all the other bits and pieces they are fixing. The Nelson's lock man was at the Front Door today discussing the door locks with Management and our two trusty Board Members.
Tonight is Festive Noel at the Rand Nature Centre - tickets are sold out at Bristol Cellars and John Bull - I hope they have some left at the door tonight - it will be crowded!

More fine examples of Phil's "expertise". Maybe we should expect to see more signs around the property "Caution: Spalling Drop Zone"

Phil and Bruno, do us all a favor and STAY HOME.

It looks like yet another example of one of Phil's "brilliant" ideas turning into a collossal failure, read that: once again, it will cost Coral Beach owners more money to repair what has already been repaired. It is also a great example of how all his "energy" is costing us big. Makes one wonder how much of our money Phil and the Board have wasted trying to save us money. It also makes one wonder which financial categories all that money will be buried in so we won't be able to tell how much money these repairs REALLY cost us.
Caution to Coral Beach Owners: let us not behave as lemmings and follow this Board into financial disaster. There has been enough circumstantial evidence to alert everyone, if you are paying attention. Please demand accountability in every area from your Board--it is your absolute right as an owner. This current Board has a year long record of refusing to be accountable to owners. The critical question to ask is, why?
Clearly, there can be no plausible answer to that question.

Let me guess..Phil and Bruno are going to sue the spalling company as well.

Do you think the court system on the island will start seeing a pattern regarding Coral Beach?

Do you really think that any court will take Coral Beach seriously when they're suing EVERYONE???
