Is your House Electrical Panel Safe?

Written by

Please note that one of our neighbors had an issue with their electrical panel and we wanted you to be aware in case you are in this situation also.    It appears to apply to Charbonneau homes that have not been significantly renovated.

Here is the note:  “We are having some electrical work done and the electrician pointed out that our electrical panel is on a Federal recall list and a safety and fire hazard.  The panel was made by the now-defunct Federal Pacific. An article about its panels is attached”. (see link below).

“We are having our panel replaced in the coming week.  The cost is $1845 which could be a surprise and burden for some residents.  In any case, I thought you should know, if you didn’t already”.

These Federal Pacific electrical panels are the same ones we replaced at the CHOA pools last year.

CHOA Welcomes Lady Bugs

Written by

Please note that Garron Grounds will again be placing Lady Bugs in the large leaf Maples and Linden trees for aphid control.   The “ladies” can eat up to 50 aphids a day and are a safe and natural method for aphid control.

The lady bugs are placed in the trees in the evening hours in small bags.  They move out of the bags into their new homes where the food supply is plentiful.   So if you see the little bags in the trees please don’t remove them.  

CHOA Board looking for new Board and Committee Members- Correction

Written by

Please note that the last Post on this topic was not correct.  Ty Kuhns  resigned  from your CHOA Board.  The Post said he retired.    Sorry for the confusion-  Barry

Ty- thanks for your great service to the Board.

We are seeking additional Board members, ideally someone with some legal background.   That is a wish, but certainly not a requirement.

In addition, we are looking for neighbors who would be willing to join our Committees.  Current Committees include:

  • Rec Hall C
  • Pools
  • Landscape
  • Moss Control
  • Finance
  • Governance
  • Architecture
  • Social

While the Board meets monthly, the Committees meet on an ad hoc basis as needed.

If you are interested in any of these volunteer positions, please contact Steve Chinn at schinno@gmail.com or 503-682-0234.
