Information
of Interest Regarding
On-Going Projects at Islas!
July
2010
Following
will be a brief discussion, with pictures, of various projects underway at Islas.
The monthly financial report also shows the current monthly cost, and this will
be in Pesos. Further, the discussion will say when the specific project is completed;
when completed, the total cost will be shown.
We are planning to complete
most of the listed projects by November 1st, working principally during the two
slow periods: Late April, May thru June, and September thru October. Please note
that not all projects are listed, as we undertake various repairs on-going throughout
the year.
Pictures are available to you by 'clicking' on the link
provided for each project:

Lighting:
Peso
$
0,000.00: There has been a problem
with having adequate lighting in the Unit
main floor; often making it difficult to read
in the evening. We are now installing pottery
type sconces on both walls. We believe that
this will provide the necessary lighting.
The installation has been undertaken by our
maintenance staff. We plan to have completed
installation in all the Part time units through
the 10th floor by the end of June. The balance
will be completed after the Summer High Season.

Curtains/Drapes
(New Tracks and Fabric Repair):
Peso
$19,308.00:
The old tracks were made of iron and have
over the years rusted to the point that the
guides often do not allow easy opening and
closing of the drapes/curtains, often causing
tearing of the fabric. This has been partially
a contract project, thus showing the initial
cost of the purchase of all aluminum tracks
that have now been installed. There will be
some slight work in repair and the hanging
of the drapes/curtains. --> See

Doors:
Peso
$0,000.00:
The outside Unit door is the responsibility
of Islas and is under its control. A number
of the Full time and Part Time doors are in
need of refinishing and this project is proceeding.
Not all are seen to need this work. -->

Air-conditioning
Repair and Replacement:
Peso
$66,601.00:
With the weather conditions as they are on
the beach, metal does not last very long.
This especially shows up in our significant
cost to maintain air-conditioners. Our position
now is to cease our reactive mode and take
a proactive position; prepping or replacing
(as needed) units in most all of the PT units
in the building. We are now undertaking a
practice of stripping down our new units (along
with the older ones) preparing the metal,
and then painting with a rust preservative
paint. We hope that this will give a longer
life to the units, and result in a long term
savings for Islas. --> See
