Saturday morning, September 26, 2009. It was a bit cool outside. It is perfect to sleep in. Especially when most people don’t have to go to work.
Shortly after 8:00am, residents whose units face the gatehouse were awakened by a loud construction noise, even much louder if the units are on lower floors.
What was that noise? It was two construction workers using an electric saw to cut the floor tiles at the exit gate-arms to repair the malfunctioning exit loop that was buried underneath. The work was finished by about 10:00am. The work cost about $1,500 to the Grandview Way complex.
It has been noticed that the exit gate arm does not come down intermittently after vehicles have exited. So, the management office is initiating the repair work.
Some residents felt that, even though it is not against any law to start construction work after 8 on a Saturday morning, they would have appreciated it very much if someone could cut some slack and have the work started after 9:00am.
Some residents mentioned that they did not notice the problem with the exit gate-arm, but instead they had noticed that the entrance gate-arm on the resident side (not the visitor side) often do not come back down after a vehicle has entered past the entrance gate-arm. They wondered why the entrance gate-arm is not fixed first because vehicles can just go through when the gate-arm on the resident side stays up. This could pose a security issue.
