Gated Community: Surrounded

Well a lot has happened since my first report on our future gated community.

They have succeeded in putting the fence around the entire complex (half of it was painted black). When they finished building the fence there was a part that joined with a fence (wooden) that already existed behind a mini strip mall. Someone took it upon themselves to create a new hole in the wood probably because they use to cut across to get to the convenience store. I understand that, but it was not necessary. Nothing was done about that yet.

They have placed gates at all of the entrances. One gate got damaged, how I'm not sure. Looks like a car probably hit it. That gate was removed and probably will be replaced soon. The arms for the gate are now being installed along with the panel to enter codes or use a key. They haven't told us how this system will work for us or how we let guests in, yet. Be glad when they do.

They also erected a Big Wall along the east end of the complex to block out the duplexes/apartments next to us. Before this there was a wooden fence that the kids (living on both sides) had the pleasure of destroying. After the wall was built, folks (I believe on the other side) started to bust in the panels of the wall in three locations. Very sad. They repaired and reinforced the damaged areas.

It will be interesting how this all will work once it's completed
