Unixed, I think I know where your unit is. I saw a Plan 6 on the top of the green, facing the sales office, when I walked my dog. It has the StanPac sign on the outside but also a “SOLD” sign on the inside. Is it yours? If it is, it’s a good location, perching on top of the hill overlooking the homes down beneath. I believe it also has a bit of view to YMCA, sports park and mountain in the distance, right? With its higher position, the home would have great lighting.
Do you know what StanPac has in plan for the area between the green and visitor parking? Currently it’s just covered with hays (or whatever material it’s called) and some irresponsible owners have allowed their dogs to pooped on it without scooping it up. It’s kind of an eye-sore. I wish it could be turned into a green area as well.
Don’t fret too much about not having a separate shower. It’s kind of small. When I had to shower at the guest bath (tub/shower combo) due to drainage leak, I had much more room to maneuver and having parts of my body (usually elbow) contacting plastic side molding or curtain did not create the same scary sound as when banging on tempered glass. The combo unit also has more holders for soap, shampoo, etc. and you have a place to raise your legs.
By the way, the total fix came to $345; $160 for plumbing repair, $85 for moisture/mold check (came back clean) and $100 for drywall repair. The drywall guy did an excellent job and we couldn’t tell at all after the paint dried. The bone-headed drapery guy will now make $345 less on this job. I’m not cursing you by any mean but if you ever needed a drywall patch-up job that’s not covered by StanPac’s warranty, ask Fernando to get you that guy.
If you too, need to take 52 to commute to work, my advice is to take Cuyamaca and Town Center Pkwy in the morning. TCP has nearly no traffic in the morning. When I hit a traffic light that just turned red and there’s no cars in front or behind, I just turn right into the shopping center, a big U-turn and come out again, in about 5 seconds, instead of waiting up to a minute for the light to go green. I can also just turn into the shopping center and drive all the way to Mission Gorge to avoid traffic lights, as at 7:30am all stores and parking lots are basically vacant, and they’re all connected. But you’re right. Most traffic lights on TCP, Cuyamaca and Mission Gorge are shopping-center related and should not be activated (or simply flashing yellow or red warning light) before 9:00am. It would make getting to 52 much quicker.
Lastly, welcome to the neighborhood! I’ve no doubt you’ll really like it. Next time you see a middle-age Asian guy walking by with a Latte-color miniature poodle, that’s me.
