Fantastic Update Earth Day Clean Up
On April 20, 2018, Mr. Jerry Johnson of MKE Property Detailing contacted me on Next door Hales Corners and informed me that he has relocated his family to the Village of Hales Corners and wants to give back to the community by helping out at the Friends of Hales Corners Park & Pool 16th Annual Earth Day clean-up.
Jerry, also informed that he would do an inspection of Hales Corners Park & Pool and get back with me.
Please see Jerry’s kind and generosity on display below from his email post on Next door Hales Corners yesterday, Saturday, April 28, 2018. Hope to see you next Saturday, May 5, 2018 at 8:00 am. We will be serving lunch for all volunteers at noon- 1:00 pm.
I have been in contact with Mr. Don Schwartz, President of The Friends of Hales Corners Park. I am excited to announce that Our family will be donating our exterior cleaning expertise to give our community park a complete professional detail.
Our family was looking forward to participating in the annual community park clean–up on may 5th. I began to read up on the Hales Corners Park History and was intrigued, by Mr. Schwartz’s commitment to our community park., and inspired by the underlined fact of the history of our park in that, one man’s dedication can truly make a difference. So Katie and I decided to not only help out with the cleanup and meeting our new neighbors, we decided that we were going to go all in and utilize our full ability’s in professional exterior cleaning, in hopes to enhance our community’s experience when visiting this park with such an inspiring history.
After our walk through of The Hales Corner Park to assess the scope of work needed. We found the following.
POOL AREA
1. Concrete surfaces will be pre–treated with an environmentally friendly commercial degreaser and a sanitizing solution. After an appropriate dwell time, we will proceed to surface clean the concrete using a commercial grade whisper wash surface cleaner.
2. Brick surfaces on pool house building need a high–pressure power washing, allow to dry and apply an F9 bark rust removal to areas as needed.
3. along sides of the concrete located under the chain–linked fence, will require extra attention to remove an unidentified thick black substance.
PLAYGROUND AREA
1. Playground equipment will be soft washed and sanitized removing any dirt, grime, mold, and lichen.
2. The play soft flooring in play area will be pre–treated with an environmentally safe degreaser and sanitizing solution. After dwelling, we will wash/rinse using medium
pressure.
3. Curbing surrounding entire play area will be sanitized and power washed.
4. The 4 benches in play area will be stripped, cleaned, and re–stained.
KIDDIE POOL AREA
1. The concrete surfaces and curbing will be pre–treated and surface cleaning, and possibly fill all cracks in concrete. The crack filling will be determined upon finding a filler that will
stand up to the constant moisture in the area.
Unfortunately, all of the above–mentioned improvements cannot all be completed on May 5th but, we have also come up a plan to make it all happen in a timely fashion.
We will devote 1 full day per week to complete each area, starting with the pool area on May 5th and moving on to the playground area the following week, and so on. We will supply all materials and chemicals needed to complete this project and will not be asking for donations to cover any cost at all. Its a 100% family contribution to our community.
