In 2010, the Club made several critical updates to the physical facilities.

The first upgrade was the replacement of the barn's roof with an entirely new corrugated metal surface and weather-tight undercoating. The roof contractor also replaced the sheet metal siding on the sides of the barn with red vinyl siding, added a double door on the western face of the barn (to aid our movement of pool equipment into and out of the upstairs area), and added three large picture windows on the eastern face of the barn.

Next, having fixed our leaky roof and siding problems, the Board spent a considerable amount of time exploring potential options for renovating the barn's first floor to replace our aging reception area, storage areas, meeting room, and bathrooms. A key factor here was juggling the universal desire for a renovation with cost considerations, particularly what we could accomplish without raising annual dues or imposing a special assessment on the Membership (which several other pool clubs in the area have done to finance improvements).

After soliciting bids from a number of contractors and undertaking detailed discussions with each, the Board signed a contract with NVS for a total gut-and-renovation of the barn's first floor. The renovation was completed by Opening Day in May, 2010.

The NVS work includes new bathroom fixtures (and tile, paint, etc.), the addition of 2 new "family bathroom/changing room" rooms, a remodeling of the breezeway between the bathrooms, a new check-in area and lifeguard station, a remodeled reception area, and a complete renovation of what had been the back storage rooms and meeting room (including a new floorplan, new flooring, walls, ceiling, paint, etc.). (Click here to see the new floorplan.)

In late 2010, we continued some minor improvements to the facility, including excavating behind the Club and building a retaining wall. This removed about 4 feet of dirt that was directly up against the backside of the building and causing mildew problems on that side of the barn. This project also created a new drainage area that drains water away from the building. We hope these improvements protect our investment in the facility.

Finally, in 2011, we completed tile work on the breezeway between the bathrooms, and added extra tiling in front of the family bathrooms. We also installed a new gas-powered energy-efficient hot water heater. Other minor improvements are underway, including rebuilding the front monument and fixing the upper level bridge and retaining wall on the western side of the barn.
