Walkway Paving
After meeting with several paving contractors and discussing options for walkway repair and costs we are planning on repairing the walkways at C cluster next week. We choose C cluster for several reasons. We need to pave a large section of the C parking lot which had been excavated in April to repair the culvert that ran under it and while there it was cost efficient to repair those walkways. Also, although not the only walkways and steps in serious need of repair, the ones in C cluster are amoung the worst and repairing them will give us a good understanding of the cost to repair them and we can evaluate the result. If we are satisfied with this repair, we can then plan and budget to repair all walkways next year.

Capital Projects
Cluster roofs – Work continues on the roofs in B and C clusters. Owners whose units have been completed are pleased with the repair and quality of the work. The chimneys still need to have the stucco finish applied. Hopefully we will begin the front roof work that wasn’t done last year on D and E cluster units by mid August.
TM lobby refurbishment – A painting contractor has been scheduled for the TM lobby during the first two weeks of September. We plan on using warm earth tones (tan and brown) with other accents. The existing furniture will also be replaced at this time or shortly thereafter.
Grounds
Jim Bauer and the grounds crew continue to improve the overall look at The Woods. Jim has added a stone bridge over the stream in the area in front of the TM and will be finishing the surrounding area to create more of a statement in front of the building. Repair of the worst walkways and steps should begin in August. Unfortunately the weather in May and June put us and our paving contractor behind schedule.
Refurbishment
The following vendors have agreed to offer Woods owners contract pricing:
Plaza Appliance Center 802-773-9191
Carpet Warehouse 802-747-3314
Carpet King of Vermont 802-747-3314
Rental Survey
At this point there is strong but limited interest in exploring a Woods rental program. We will be contacting owners who indicated a willingness to participate in a focus group to discuss the results of the survey and exchange thoughts pro and con.
Spa
Heather Bruce who has been on the Spa desk for the past year is leaving in September to pursue a graduate degree in nutrition from the University of Alabama. We will miss her and wish her the best. We are fortunate to have Beth Gage who has worked at the Spa on a part time basis for the past two years while attending the University of Vermont to be joining us full time.
Summer Rentals
We occasionally have people who call us seeking a long term rental. Although we do not manage any rentals, we will give their names to owners who are looking for a renter. So if you are interested in a long term renter, please let us know and when we receive inquiries we will forward them to you.
Web Site
Our new web site, www.WoodsResort.net will be live soon. This newsletter and other Woods information will be posted on www.WoodsResort.net.owners on a routine basis and you may access it from either site. The www.woodsResort.net.owners has an area for inputting your e-mail address to automatically receive updates posted to the site and has an area to comment on existing postings. This can be a great way for owners to share opinions and exchange ideas.
