Monday, November 5th: Good morning! 

We hope you all had a great weekend! We had one of the crews wrap up last Friday and then today the 2nd crew is onsite completing their touch ups. Thank you again for having us at Maclaren this year! We hope you have a great rest of the year!


Wednesday, October 31st: Happy Halloween!

At least that’s what it seems like, but in all seriousness- enjoy the trick or treaters, maybe watch Halloween, Hocus Pocus or your favorite scary movie, and make sure to get your sweet tooth fix. 

The crew is wrapping up on a few areas around the 1370/1372 Building and then we’ll be on our way. It’s been our pleasure to be onsite at Maclaren and spruce up the exterior of your buildings. We hope you have a great rest of the year!

Tuesday, October 30th: Good afternoon residents of Maclaren! 

The crew is onsite and wrapping up their prep and painting today. They are anticipating to be done tomorrow and then we’ll complete a walk through to mark any areas needing touch ups. It has been our pleasure being onsite over the last 3 months, although we could have done without all of the rain and delays it caused. We appreciate your patience and grace as we can’t control the weather – thank you!

Thursday, October 11th: Good afternoon!

Is it true?! There is no rain in sight for the next several days!

Though we couldn’t be more thrilled that it’s not raining, it is still to wet to be applying paint. We are hopeful to resume to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. Thanks!


Wednesday, October 10th: Here we are again, deja vu with another rainy day. I suppose we can chalk this one up to Milli Vanilli and their hit ‘Blame it on the Rain.’ We’re hopeful to resume prep and painting tomorrow. Thanks!


Tuesday, October 9th: Making the most of our rain delay with an onsite video in this unfavorable rain!


Monday, October 8th: Good morning! We hope you all had a great weekend!

Friday, October 5th: Hello and TGIF! 

THIS ABOUT SUMS UP OUR MOOD REGARDING THE RECENT WEATHER.

The crews are not onsite today due to the wet surfaces. As the weather clears and the surfaces dry out the crew will resume their painting. We have 1- 1.5 weeks left on the 1370/1372 Buildings and some railings and deck floors remain on the 1390/1392 Building.

Though this weather has stopped our crew, you can carry on and celebrate today as ‘One Hit Wonder Day‘ and take a walk down memory lane to relive briefly successful songs through the decades. Some of our favs are, Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles, Tubthumping by Chumbawamba, or fitting for today, Milli Vanilli’s Blame in on the Rain?!


Monday, September 24th: Good afternoon residents of MacLaren! We hope you all had a great weekend! We sure enjoyed the break in rain and all the sunshine!

With all of the rain we’ve had over the last several days, the crews will not be painting today. We do have a crew onsite hanging downspouts in completed areas and potentially prepping metal areas. If the weather holds, they’ll resume painting tomorrow. Thanks and have a great weekend!


Thursday, September 20th: Good morning! We’ve got ourselves another rain day folks. With rain forecasted for the majortity of today, we anticipate the earliest we would return would be Saturday. Thanks for your patience as we can’t predict or control what Mother Nature throws at us.

Monday, September 17th: Good afternoon! 

The border battle was a game for the books, but not where either is excited over a win or defeated with a loss. Instead, the green and purple teams ended their first show down of this season in a tie. Missed kicks, defense misses, and penalties piloted the game in a flip flop of emotions. The teams will face each other again on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, in which I’m sure both teams will be all-in to get a W!
