Quick Tips for Dryer Efficiency Did you know the fabric softener liquids and dryer sheets that make our clothes smell so great leave residue in our dryer’s lint screen? This residue blocks the air flow and can lead to longer drying times and over extended periods, a shorter life span for our dryers? You can’t see the residue, but it’s evident if you run your dryer lint screen under water. The water will “pool” up rather than flowing straight through the screen. It is extremely easy to remove this residue and help your dryer run more efficiently. First, be sure to remove lint from the screen after every dryer load. Next, every three to four months, take the lint screen out and wash it with hot water and some mild dish soap. Rinse it thoroughly and allow it to fully dry before placing it back in the dryer. These two easy steps will mean quicker dry times, which means less energy used, and fewer maintenance calls, as well.

Dear Faith Landing Residents, We are proud to be a pet-friendly community that offers a clean and comfortable living environment for everyone – and their pets – to call home. After all, we understand that sometimes your pets feel more like family, well, than family! To maintain our landscaping and cleanliness of our grassy areas, we ask that you clean up after your pet. For those of you who consistently clean up after your pet, thank you. On behalf of your fellow residents and the Faith Landing staff, we appreciate your consideration and responsibility. However others in our community neglect to pick up after their pets. And it’s a trend that is getting worse. Please consider the following to help address this issue. If you don’t already, please take a bag with you when walking your pet on community grounds. If you see a pet-owner who does not pick up after their dog, please alert the Leasing Office so we can follow up with that resident. Additionally, another resident concern that has been expressed is that certain individuals allow their dogs to be off the leash and the unleashed dogs jumping on other residents and/or other pets. As a reminder, pets should be on a leash at all times.
The Faith Landing Leasing Office will be closed on March 15th. We will reopen at 9 am on March 16th. Additionally, the office will be closed Saturday, April2. If you have a maintenance emergency, please call our office phone number and follow the instructions. Don’t forget that Daylight Savings time begins Sunday, march 13, 2016. Be sure to turn those clocks ahead one hour.
Again, thanks to our pet owners who clean Gardening: up after their Lots pets. Should you in a Little Space Container of Veggies have questions, please call us at the office – as always, we’re here to help! Living in an apartment doesn’t mean that you can’t grow a plentiful garden. You can make the most of a small space by planting a container garden which can be kept on your patio, balcony, or for smaller plants like herbs, on your window sill. Using any container, from terra cotta pots to recycled bowls (be sure you drill holes in the bottom for drainage), you can grow a variety of veggies for your summer salads and side dishes. There are a few specific vegetables that do especially well in containers: Tomatoes: All types do well in pots, but the smaller varieties, like cherry and grape tomatoes produce quickly, making for a great harvest. They can be difficult to start from seeds, so starting with seedlings will ensure a success. Peppers (Bell and chili): As with tomatoes, these are best started from seedlings, but once they have a good start, they are quick producers and do very well in containers. Red mini-bells are quick producers and are delicious on a salad. Lettuce – Plant the seeds in a container that gets plenty of full sun exposure and you’ll get a great crop of lettuce for salads and garnishes. You can plant many varieties in the same container and the mix will look, as well as taste, great. Spinach – The plants love the sun and will continue to grow more leaves as you trim off what you want to use. Scatter the seeds in the container and thin them out as they grow. Green Onions – These are pretty and easy to grow. They don’t take up much space in your containers and really like the sun. Carrots – Any variety will grow in containers, but you’ll want to look for quick-maturing varieties because they can take up to 80 days to be ready for harvest. Cucumbers – Add some crunch to your salads with cucumbers. They are quick to grow and smaller, bush varieties are perfect for container gardens. Green Beans – Easy to grow and when harvested regularly, they’ll just keep producing more. Stick to bush beans, which have short self supported stems rather than pole or climbing beans which can grow 5-6 feet tall. Be sure to start with containers that have drainage and good all-purpose soil from the gardening section of your store. Add your seeds or seedlings, a little water, and a bit of sunshine and soon your deck or patio will be boasting a bumper crop of veggies.
