The 2016 year started off early with a somewhat urgent culvert installation in December 2015.  With thanks to Darrel for patience, we arranged with some of the lot owners to gather 2016 and future year contributions a bit early and pay this repair out of 2016 funds.  Recall that our 2015 year was a year-off in contributions since we had a double in 2014.

The total cost was: $1,539.65 including taxes.
