Reinforcement
Salam everyone,
I just arrived from Fes last week end, 10 of June '12, after spending 10 days in the residence.
From what I saw, things are really improving in the residence and around:
- The pools are well maintained, the huge garden in front of the buildings and the one around the buildings are also kept tidy and clean, this mean that work is in progress during the day and a good part of the night by the two guardians, Zakaria is supervising almost each day. having said that, we however definitely need to have a well to keep the costs of pumped water at a reasonable price; to feel the pools from drinking water each week or so is inconceivable = 4x the cost of water from a well.
- I also think that within a year or two, at least a bus will be stopping in the neighborhood, a primary /secondary school will be open just adjacent to these huge buildings next to Sunset /Cordoba our residence, furthermore there are many residences and building who are at the first stage of constructions some are even almost achieved!
- There's also a small Pharmacy situated at the middle of these huge buildings = symbol is the GREEN CROISSANT, I talked to the owner he said to be open even late in the evening.
- The mosque is filling its duty on Fridays and each day, so there's a place for those seeking some rest and spirituality.
About reinforcing the borders around the walls of the ground floor flats.. I think it is needed and maybe even urgent many have had it done, by digging a trench of half a meter, fill it with stones and concrete and the job is done. Some had even put tales around, it all takes a day or two, cost 6 or 8 cement bags as well as same amount of sand. I don't think that water from the town or the pools is getting its way to the ''basements'' of these flats, I was there when those tranches were diged but saw no damage which may be due to water penetration. Having say that, we may look at this issue as a community matter than a particular one, it is anyway on the agenda of the community, actions will be taken to involve experts. The swimming pools definitely need refurbishment. Next to the monthly contribution per flat of a 100 dirham, a yearly contribution of 200 dirhams for general purposes has been decided by the committee last feb. I paid mine. We also want to give a new face that frontal garden by replanting the orange trees in circular patterns: orangerie with more trees. Any suggestions?
- One minus point though regarding things in the residence its self , is the fact that we now do have three dogs and a cued puppy (4 angel guardians in total). They all kind of sleep during the day, but may keep you a awake during a good part of the night, so take good 'ear blogs' .
- Another issue, which I'm personally fighting for, is to get the authorities so urgently possible to collect the rubbish in our area, now it’s part of the guardians job next to gardening and doing dialy cleaning around the residence --> to be followed....
Cheers,
