I was under the impression that the old nailers were to be replaced.

We are holding up the final payment until all balconies meet the
specifications.
The issue regarding popping boards is that when Alpine drove the screws
into the wood nailers, they might have hit existing holes that were
there from the original wood balcony nails. Or in some cases, they
drove the screws crooked. The screws did not have proper wood to grasp,
so the boards started popping. Alpine will correct this issue on
balconies with popped boards.
Again, if you see any boards popping or split boards, let me know and
I'll have Alpine correct them. We have the most leverage now because we
haven't submitted their final payment. Thanks.

It appears from the several emails from residents that the contractor
used
screws that were too short and that now the boards are popping up. If
this
is the case, then every balcony will need to again be repaired. The
final
payment to the contractor should be held until the work is completed
properly.

The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the balcony project
is complete, with the exception of a few punchlist items. Alpine will
be on site on this Saturday and next Saturday to complete the punchlist.
The project was completed for less than the original budget of $750 per
balcony. The final cost was $701.25 per balcony.
The remaining balcony payment of $201.25 per balcony will be due from
residents on July 14th, 2008. A memo from First Properties will be
issued regarding the final payment as a reminder. Please note that the
final payment should be submitted as a check; direct debit can only
deduct assessments. Also, late fees will begin to incur after 7/14, so
make sure you submit payment by that date to avoid any fees.
Thanks for your patience during the construction.
