Thank you Eric Neas | Pergola Project

If you have passed by the Pergola in the last couple of days, you’ve likely noticed an incredible makeover and/or one of our neighbors hard at work pressure washing and cleaning the pergola, sidewalk, benches, trash cans, brick and stone. It looks great, AND, the Pergola Project is just getting started.

• Eric Neas (Whitfield Parc) quickly stepped up to challenge when I polled the neighborhood for a project coordinator to organize getting the pergola back in shape.

• He spent 11 hours of his own time over 2 days, and did the best job imaginable.

Thank you also to Amy Howard, for donating water for the effort.

Friday July 28th, 8:30am

Eric is assembling a group to complete the project on the 28th. If you would like to help, and put your stamp on our neighborhood logo, mascot, meeting spot, source of pride, you still have time. Please let us know in comments below and Eric will follow up with you. Project details below.

As a reminder of the work we’ll do on 7/28:

- Clean Williams Park sign stone structure 

- Clean & wire brush the Williams Park metal sign

- Repaint the Williams Park metal sign

- Stain/Sealcoat the pergola wood with semi-transparent cedar by hand brush (2 people and this is the biggest effort)

- Misc landscape clean-up

- Plant dwarf tree/misc in the empty planter 

I have purchased all supplies, but if you have any of the following to bring, it would be helpful:

- Ladders

- Wire brush

- Scrub brushes (for the stone) 

- Drop cloths 

- Battery hedge trimmers 

- Pruning shears 

- Gloves (I have painters gloves for the painters) 

- Battery blower 

Thank you,

Eric Neas
