Time For SUMMER

COMMUNITY UPDATES

• We are continuing to replace the unsatisfactory electrical pedestals and disconnect panels for your homes. You will be notified if your home is affected and when the replacement will take place. You will be without power during the process and we will update you with the date and time as it gets closer. There will be more trenching involved so if your Comcast / Xfinity cable is cut please notify them immediately as the office cannot report the issue on your behalf. If there is a service fee, please present the invoice to the office.

• Be sure to check out the flyer for our Beach Cove Mobile App. This application will eventually be replacing our phone broadcast and mass emails. It will have all the information about events and much more. They are working on making it available for your computer too, if you do not like using your phone.

Please Remember:

• If you put an umbrella up at the pool, be sure to close it when you leave. If they are left open the wind can catch them and cause lots of damage to the umbrella, table, chairs and even the pool shell and deck.

• PLEASE SLOW DOWN! There have been many vehicles speeding in the community, both residents and guests. This is a major rule violation, not to mention the danger of hitting someone or something. Remember, the speed limit is 10 mph, and every resident must follow the rules and make sure their guests do the same.

• Please do not touch the irrigation clocks or try turning your system on with the valves. You can change the times accidentally and/or damage the valves. If you have a problem, you MUST report it to the office so we can generate a work order for the crew. Please understand that the crew cannot always respond the same day.

• Hurricane season is coming up fast. If you are leaving for the summer, you are responsible for removing or securing all items that could become flying projectiles.

• All residents must keep their homes and yards clean and tidy whether you are here all year or not. Your flower beds must be kept weeded and attractive and your home free of mold and dirt. Management is driving the community on a regular basis and will post a notice on your home if there are any issues they see.

JUNE CALENDAR

SALES CORNER

With Kathy B.

Welcome June!!!

Wow, we made it through the crazy busy month of May.

Here is something I read recently and thought it was interesting:

National Trends in MH Housing. In March 2024 8,447 New manufactured homes were produced, an increase of 92 homes 1.1% compared to 2/2024, and an increase of 801 homes or 10.5% increase compared to 3/2023 This report includes numbers for both MH production and shipments. There were no FEMA units produced in 3/2024. In 3/2024 8,464 new MH homes were shipped, an increase of 117 homes or 1.4% compared to 2/2024, and an increase of 799 homes or 10.4% compared to 3/2023. Compared with the same month last year, shipments in single & multi section homes were up by 11.7%and 9.4% respectively. Total purchases in 3/2024 were 13,166, an increase of 1,187 homes or 9.9% compared with the same month last year.

The seasonally adjusted annual rate of shipments was 102,924 3/2024 up 0.5% compared to the adjusted rate of 102,386 in 2/2024. Cumulative purchases through 3/2025 totaled 24,272 compared with 21,162 homes for the same 3 months of 2023, a net increase of 14.7%. I found this interesting and hope you all do as well. Have a Great month.

As always, I’m happy to answer any questions or schedule an appointment.

Cheers!!

Grilled Baby Back Ribs

INGREDIENTS

RIBS

• 2 racks of baby back ribs, roughly 2 lbs each

• 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt

• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

• 1 tablespoon ground mustard

• 1 tablespoon garlic powder

• 1/2 tablespoon black pepper

• 1/2 tablespoon onion powder

• 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder

ROOT BEER BBQ SAUCE

• 3/4 cup ketchup

• 2/3 cup root beer

• 1/2 cup honey

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper DIRECTIONS

1) Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place each rack of ribs on a doubled sheet of aluminum foil. In a bowl, whisk together the salt, paprika, mustard, garlic powder, pepper, onion powder and chipotle chili powder. Rub the mixture all over both sides of the ribs, then wrap the ribs up in the aluminum foil. Place the racks on a baking sheet and put them on the center rack in the oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours.

3) After 2 1/2 hours, gently pour the juice in the foil packets into a large bowl or measuring cup. Whisk in 3 to 4 tablespoons of BBQ sauce.

4) Heat the grill to the highest setting and remove the ribs from the foil. Once the grill is hot, place the ribs on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until they are charred and slightly crisp on the outsides, basting and rubbing the juices/BBQ sauce mixture on top. Let cool slightly before serving with lots of BBQ sauce.

ROOT BEER BBQ SAUCE

1) Place all ingredients in a saucepan and whisk together until combined. Heat oven medium heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cook for 30 to 60 minutes, until thickened. Stir occasionally. Remove from the heat and let sit at room temperature until it cools and thickens even more.

2) Store in a jar or sealed container in the fridge.
