Wall Update/ Sept. 1.

Update on Repairing the Entrance Wall

We have awarded the contract to replace the damaged wall at the entrance to Willowbrook to South Paw Masonry. They must special order the brick from Canada, and expect it will take three weeks to arrive. In the meantime they will be tearing out the remaining damaged wall between the two pilasters (i.e. the curved part of the wall). The contractor expects it will take about a week to rebuild the damaged area, then another week or two to reinstall the sign. So we expect to have all work completed by the second week of October.

South Paw Masonry is the same contractor who built the southern entrance to Willowbrook.

Entrance Wall Update

Entrance Wall Repair Bids Received

The Homeowners Association has received two qualified bids for repairing the brick wall at the Willowbrook Place entrance. After initial analysis, we realized that it would be necessary to replace the entire section of the wall between the two pilasters, instead of just replacing the bricks that were knocked down. We need to replace the entire section of the wall because it was not possible to find new brick that exactly matched the existing weathered brick. For the same reason, we'll have to replace the entire Willowbrook sign, because replacement letters would be noticeably different from the existing letters.

The existing letters are solid brass and very expensive. We are considering replacing the letters with bronze coated letters that would look fairly similar, but cost less than half. We are currently investigating the pros and cons of the two options. We will probably make our decision at the next Homeowners Board Meeting, which is at 7 PM, August 19 at 202 Rocky Mountain Court.
