Tunnell Vision- May 2019

April brought its fair share of storms to our area, which gives us hope that May will be filled with sunshine, blossoming flowers, and a positive welcome to the Summer of 2019!

Please meet some of Pot-Nets newest residents, who are nesting comfortably on the side of the Pot-Nets Main Office building. 

Enjoy!

Our Tear Down Crew didn't get to this Creekside home in time, and a storm blew it down this past winter. Cypress Tree Care worked with Johnny Rogers Marine Construction to reinstall the foundation, and construct a new home the same day.

We would like to remind everyone of our low-cost vaccine shot clinic for both cats and dogs. This will be held this Sunday, May 5th, at the Lakeside Community Center from 11AM to 1PM.  For additional details, please click HERE.
 

Grass Roots Rescue recently rescued 28 dogs from a high-kill shelter in Savannah, Georgia. Volunteers sorted, documented and distributed the dogs to their waiting foster families. Click the image below to read the full article!

Seaside: The bulkhead at the end of Sunset Strip Road will be replaced soon.  Materials have been stockpiled out there, and the equipment will be moved overfrom Bayside in the near future. The wood bulkhead will be replaced with the same PVC sheeting that we're using elsewhere.

Bayside:  Dock construction between Pontoon Point & Marina 5 is in process.

Bayside: Sloop Avenue reconstruction. Weather permitting, this paving, edge dressing & stone marina parking surfaces will occur over the next few weeks. Please "pardon our progress" and avoid the area as much as possible. We will work directly with directly affected homeowners to inform them of when their driveways may be inaccessible for a short period.

Lakeside: Community Center chairs have been replaced.  Interior painting & carpet replacement of the Community Center will be happening this month. We will individually notify different groups if this work conflicts with any pre-scheduled events.

Boat Slips:  We in in process of turning on all of the water, all of the electric, at all of the boat slips.  Some areas will get turned on sooner than later.  Some areas are under construction.  Some areas suffered damages during the winter, and need to be repaired. Please don't call the Main Office to ask us to turn on the water & electric.  We'll get there, we promise!

Creekside: The roof of the Pool House is being replaced right now.  Looking good so far!

Just remember, like most bees, Carpenter bees consume nectar and pollen from flowering plants. This means that they are effective pollinators of native plant communities, garden plants, and some crops.  And in doing so, they help contribute a food source for birds and other wildlife.  So, try not to kill them if you can avoid it.  In our communities we do our best to try and live with them for the short while they are a nuisance in spring, however, it is sometimes necessary to make pest control applications.
