Maybe the next newsletter will have some information on this project, huh?

Don't forget, the second $150 is due November 15th! Probably have pigeon instead of turkey at my house because of the second payment being due.

Maybe - but the last correspondence from the board was on the LM website on June 15th - over 4 months ago. so don't hold your breath.

Well it looks like I was pretty far off.

The tennis court breaks down as follows :-

Paid to Flex Court International : $22,500.00 (being 50% of the job)
Paid to Flex Courts of NC : $8,252.00 (being 50% of the fencing costs.)

Final Cost of Tennis Court : $61,504.00
Estimate called for in the Assessment : $48,000.00

So the court and surrounding fence will be laid down at a cost which is 28% over what was budgeted in the assessment.

Bumgardner for some reason don't do reserve studies but I think it works out more or less like...

Total Assessment $114,000.00
Total budgeted Costs for all improvements : $83,900.00
Total Costs so far : $61,504.00

Where did you get the final figures for the tennis courts? Did you simply take the first figure and double it?

Nope the costs are straight from Bumgardner

I know we are in the middle of Winter - but do you know of anyone who has actually played on the courts who has an opinion of how it feels in comparison to the traditional surface  ?

Watch out, I got a nice tennis racket for Christmas!  I will be down there when the weather gets warmer
