Happy Spring! As the Maple Lane Unit Inspections are scheduled this month, and our homes are stuck with the winter blues, now is the perfect time to get a jump start on spring cleaning.
Spring cleaning is a tradition that allows us to freshen up our homes ahead of the hectic seasons of spring and summer. Approaching your apartment room-by-room is the most effective way to deep-clean your home at any time of the year, but especially in spring. Use room checklists as a springboard for deep-cleaning the areas of your home that need extra attention.
One of the biggest parts of spring cleaning is getting rid of all the clutter that you don’t need. Getting rid of unused items that are weighing you down will give you a more streamlined lifestyle. Sorting your belongings into four categories—trash, give-away, store, or put away—can also be effective as you begin the spring cleaning process.
A good, thorough spring cleaning that includes the whole apartment is a great time to establish new on-going cleaning habits, and it can also make next spring cleaning a good deal easier.
As we inch our way to spring and anxiously await the arrival of Groundhog’s Day, the Carroll County housing staff has been working on Phase III of the Carroll Apartments patio/sidewalk project. This year we will be asking contractors to bid on three sections of the Carroll Apartments patio/sidewalks. Our plans detail new front sidewalks and front and back patios at Carroll Apartments units 1-4; new front sidewalks and front patios at units 9-12; new sidewalks and front patios for units 17-18 and 19-20; and new back patios for units 17-18. We are also investigating repositioning the downspouts to prevent heavy rains from washing out the ground by these buildings. We anticipate this project to begin in late spring/early summer of this year. Phase IV will be the final phase of this project and will occur in the summer of 2023. Watch our newsletter for further information as we get closer to the start of this project.
