We only had a handful of trees that blew over and we had the landscaper re-stake those trees. Whoever did the install did a great job. Pond maintenance is going well; the midge control program is doing well. I have not had any calls concerning complaints with respect to that. We still have landscape damage from when they did the work for the school that is yet to be corrected by the contractor, but I met with Yellowstone and before school started, they came in and cleaned it all up for the parents and students. I drove it again this week and it looks really good. We do have some plants that need to be replaced, a couple medjool palms that need to be addressed by the contactor. We also discovered during our drive through yesterday heading east on Dowden before you get to the stoplight at Founders there was a main line break in the median so we shut the water down immediately and crews should be onsite today or tomorrow to see what is going on. The improvements are good by N-4 and N-5, the entry walls, hardscape and stuff. Once that is done as we prepare to do our landscape inspection and turnover process, we are going to need the SOBs for that. I created an insurance document and we will photo document everything and assign dollar amounts to it. This way once everything is done and accepted all those assets are covered.
