Hi Boulders Owners,
 
This is a follow-on message to my last one, as I’ve had some questions about clearing of roofs and decks.
 
Roofs:
The contractor clearing roofs has been given a (growing) list of issues that have been called in to CAMCO. We’ve asked that he work on those buildings impacted and leave 1.5 to 2’ of snow on all roofs to avoid any contact with the comp shingles. If a roof doesn’t have a large accumulation of snow or present any obvious danger as reported by the owner, he will not remove the snow.
 
 
Decks:
In the greater Truckee area there are decks that have suffered greatly from the weight of the snow. I’d like to remind you that snow removal from our decks in The Boulders is the responsibility of the owner (see Rules, page 20 and CC&Rs Section 6.6). With rain making the snow heavier this is even more important. We understand that while our contractor is removing snow from a roof it may land on a deck. While unfortunate, we will nevertheless have to grab our shovels and move it ourselves (if you can find a place to put it), or let it remain to melt when warmer weather arrives. When removing snow from an upper deck please make sure it doesn’t land on someone below (or your neighbor’s deck!). Please DO NOT call CAMCO to remove snow from decks.
 
Once we get through these major storms we will turn to management of the costs incurred to repair our units.  We will send out a message with specific information about that. In the meantime, please keep any receipts related to repair of damage from these storms.  
 
You are probably already thinking about next year, and so are we. We’ve been talking to companies who may be able to diagnose and help us remedy the impact of excessive snow on our units in the future. More about that in the upcoming months.
