neighborhood news

Dear neighbors,
Do you think it will ever stop raining?? Hard to believe that about a month ago we were so dry and wishing for rain.....hope your basements are ok. Please see the note below from Fran, who unfortunately did get water in her basement and would like a recommendation for someone to water proof it. If you had trouble also lately, please let me know and we can compare notes. That last storm was the biggest in a long time so was an exception but would be good to help each other out with information now.

I also got a note about some more vandalism at a house on Uxbridge - damage done to a car parked on the street. It was reported to police. Do let me know if you have any trouble at your house...and continue to report any strange activity to the police.

I got a note from Karen Freeman that she and Tom have sold their home and will be moving to Florida for most of the year. I will really miss Karen - she has been very involved in neighborhood activities as a real estate agent and neighbor. She hosted many progressive dinners and many Christmas parties through the years. She has been a real champion of our beautiful neighborhood when needed and always had an answer to my questions. Many thanks for all that you have done, Karen!  She and Tom are hosting a moving sale this Saturday, Sept 10, starting at 8:00.  They have some nice antiques, some misc. furniture, a complete set of Minton china, the Bellemeade pattern with a service for 12, never used, and lots of odds and ends..  Hope you can stop by.

On the subject of garage sales...Eva O'Brien would like to try again for a sale - the last one got rained out. Anyone interested in joining in next weekend, the 17th? Please let me know if you would like to.

Lastly, I was driving out along 202 today and found that the sound walls have begun to go up south of our Hancock entrance! Looks like they will curve around into the entry way. I don't get out that way often so was surprised. Is anyone having issues with the construction, other than the obvious noise involved?

Thank you,
Carol Pfister

Carol-
Can you please email the neighborhood to see if anyone has a basement waterproofing company that they would HIGHLY recommend? We had a flood after Irene, the sump pump never stopped working, so we, obviously, want to find out why and ensure that it never happens again. :)
Thanks and I hope you had a great summer -
