When Little M visited and R and she were swimming, I took a look around our facilities and I was pleasantly surprised.
The public bathroom has been renovated and modernised since the last time I checked.
New sauna heating.
A new tap within the sauna to supply water to pour on the sauna heating unit to make humidity.
The surfaces hadn't changed. I suppose the timber is cedar.
There are better controls for both the sauna and the air conditioning. The unit controlling the ambient air temperature in the pool is now sealed and can't be fiddled with.
The gym equipment looks quite new. I know at least one piece was donated. I just admire it from a distance. I don't want any complicated involvement.
The only disappointing concern was the paving badly needs pressure washing.
The barbeque and the gate to the tennis court.
Towards the building entrance.
The garden was looking particularly lush.

Wow. That looks positively upmarket. And posh.
ReplyDeleteCompared to what to is now being built EC, it isn't. But thanks.
DeleteI would love that steam room!
ReplyDeleteRoentare, I used a few times in our early days here but I am not fond of cooking myself.
DeleteIt would be both kind and public-spirited if you offered to pressure-wash the grubby paving stones yourself! If you don't know to operate a pressure washer, I am sure there are YouTube videos that can help.
ReplyDeleteYP, I've done my fair share of volunteer work around the building in the early years. I am retired in more ways than just paid work. Of course I know how to pressure wash. I watch the YT clips posted by Sid in Birmingham at his channel Partridge Exterior Cleaning. He is a master at pressure washing and quite entertaining.
DeleteWow. You live in a very posh building! Your resolve not to involve yourself in a complicated relationship with the workout equipment is impressive.
ReplyDeleteDebby, the building was quite impressive when it first opened but it has been far surpassed with luxury of newer and much more expensive buildings. I like you last sentence. I did have a go on a walking machine for a minute. I quickly became bored.
DeleteI will ignore the torture equipment in the gym. But the barbeque, tables and chairs, gardens and area to the tennis court look fun.
ReplyDeleteHels, I was pleasantly impressed at how it all looked. The photos don't capture how good the garden was looking.
DeleteDo many people use the facilities? They look very swish.
ReplyDeleteCaro, for what they cost to replace and maintain, no. There are some dedicated users but most are casual users like us.
DeleteVery nice 👌 . Sending lots of hugs. RO
ReplyDeleteHello RO. How nice to see you pop up. I hope all is well with you.
DeleteIt all looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks River.
DeleteMaybe you should road test some of those items just so you know they’re in working order.
ReplyDeleteCathy, better that I watch a fit young man demonstrate how well the machines work.
DeleteIt's good that the equipment is kept to standard, and also a pleasure to see all those areas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret. I think there is a contract to maintain the machines.
DeleteI have to admit the picture of the sauna brought forth some eroticized memories. That sauna was obviously not in an apartment building, but the wood paneling was much the same.
ReplyDeleteKirk, I have no idea what you are talking about 😉
DeleteGet some excercise! Nice amenities
ReplyDeleteI know how to get exercise TP and it doesn't involve machines. I hope you are enjoying Spain. Are you visiting the wonderful Barcelona?
DeleteWell, if the worst you can say is that the pavement needs pressure-washing, that's not so bad! I haven't been in a sauna in about 35 years and I don't think I'd mind never being in one again.
ReplyDeleteSteve, not so much saunas as steam rooms always seem to strike me as being unhygienic.
DeleteNice amenities in your building. Hope you use it all :)

DeleteWe are bad Sami. We only use the facilities when children stay.
If too many people used that exercise equipment, it would get old and icky. Best to admire something like that from a distance.
ReplyDeleteStrayer, never mind the wearing out of body parts by the use of such equipment.
