Below you will find two files on the topic of garage door maintenance. The first file is submitted by Nancy Walsh and she shares their experience with the process of installing and upgrading their garage door (the first unit in our strata to replace their garage door).

Strata Garage Door Maintenance – July 2013

As a followup to the Walsh’s experience Depend-a-dor is offering a significant savings on a garage door tune-up if it can get a minimum of five units to participate. For details on how to take advantage of this offer see the file below:

Here’s a recipe for a great-environmentally friendly and pet-friendly weed killer. Measure 2 cups vinegar, 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of dish washing liquid into a plastic spray bottle. Mix well by shaking. Use with care, as you do not want to spray any flowers or shrubs with the weed killer. The vinegar kills the weeds, while the salt keeps them from regrowing.

If you prefer to use a chemical product, Canadian Tire sells an environmenally-friendly Round-up in a handy spray bottle that works very well.

The following message was posted by resident Annie Graham:

I am attaching a photo I took that might interest all the bird feeders in 118. The suet block was hanging from the arbutus tree on our patio. And a very healthy fat rat he was!!!! Maybe our residents should think twice about hosting such dinner parties.

Residents should also make sure they are not storing other items like garbage or bulk dog food even if it is stored in a heavy plastic bin. Rodents are able to gnaw through heavy plastic.
