Is your House Electrical Panel Safe?

Written by

Please note that one of our neighbors had an issue with their electrical panel and we wanted you to be aware in case you are in this situation also.    It appears to apply to Charbonneau homes that have not been significantly renovated.

Here is the note:  “We are having some electrical work done and the electrician pointed out that our electrical panel is on a Federal recall list and a safety and fire hazard.  The panel was made by the now-defunct Federal Pacific. An article about its panels is attached”. (see link below).

“We are having our panel replaced in the coming week.  The cost is $1845 which could be a surprise and burden for some residents.  In any case, I thought you should know, if you didn’t already”.

These Federal Pacific electrical panels are the same ones we replaced at the CHOA pools last year.

CHOA Welcomes Lady Bugs

Written by

Please note that Garron Grounds will again be placing Lady Bugs in the large leaf Maples and Linden trees for aphid control.   The “ladies” can eat up to 50 aphids a day and are a safe and natural method for aphid control.

The lady bugs are placed in the trees in the evening hours in small bags.  They move out of the bags into their new homes where the food supply is plentiful.   So if you see the little bags in the trees please don’t remove them.  

CHOA Board looking for new Board and Committee Members- Correction

Written by

Please note that the last Post on this topic was not correct.  Ty Kuhns  resigned  from your CHOA Board.  The Post said he retired.    Sorry for the confusion-  Barry

Ty- thanks for your great service to the Board.

We are seeking additional Board members, ideally someone with some legal background.   That is a wish, but certainly not a requirement.

In addition, we are looking for neighbors who would be willing to join our Committees.  Current Committees include:

  • Rec Hall C
  • Pools
  • Landscape
  • Moss Control
  • Finance
  • Governance
  • Architecture
  • Social

While the Board meets monthly, the Committees meet on an ad hoc basis as needed.

If you are interested in any of these volunteer positions, please contact Steve Chinn at schinno@gmail.com or 503-682-0234.

There is an Alligator in my pool (and now ants)

Written by

The Ducks have decided that some of our pools are new ponds for them to play in.  Ducks are fun, except when they leave reminders of their visit.

To help keep the pools clean of “debris” we  recently purchased an Articulating Alligator to see if this device would discourage the ducks.  The pool we chose to trial the alligator in was F&G pool.  Unfortunately, the Alligator was viewed as a toy and ended up in pieces in the surrounding yard.

Karen Siegel was able to reassemble the Alligator so that we can continue to use it.

Please if you see the Alligator in your pool, it is not a toy.

I know that for some the Alligator can be a temptation.  If you need to, you can remove the Alligator device while you are in the pool.  Ducks don’t usually land when people are present.  Just remember to put the Alligator back in before you leave.

 

Thanks for your help.

While we’re on the subject of keeping our pools clean………

Remember, there is no eating in the pool area.

We do have a service that helps keep our pools clean and usable.  That said, food debris attracts ants and other wildlife.  In addition to the regular pool cleaning service paid for out of your HOA dues, treatment for ants is an extra cost that should not be needed if food is only consumed in areas outside of the pool.

Written by

All areas were corrected as of Tuesday evening – Thank you Garron Grounds and Steve Chinn

Post from this weekend:

Because of the construction on Boones Bend and Fairway a main line was broken on Friday, so the houses on the south side of Fairway will not have Irrigation water this weekend.

A golf cart or something like it hit a filter late Friday afternoon on the golf course side of Red 5. Because of the damage Garron was forced to turn the irrigation off on Boones Bend, and it can’t be fixed till Monday.
