Blog update 2012 finally :)

Apologies for being away but we have been a little busy!!
Snow Snow Snow and the big Chill 
As most people know Bansko, Bulgaria and the rest of europe has been hit with some of the hardest weather for decade's and in Bansko JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW the most in 100 years and it just keeps coming. 
This extreme weather has had a huge impact on what we are trying to achieve and get a management handle on the complexes. Just last weekend knowing more large snow falls where coming and the municipality roads where all but impassable with the snow plow only pushing everything to the side blocking any measure of access, to this end we got in the big machines and cleared the way, and still it keeps coming and coming and coming.
The extreme conditions has seriously exposed the flaws in the complex infrastructure and lack of any previous due care and attention to the buildings and the systems held with in them, these now are really starting to expose them selves and we are here to help all the owners.
Knowing we where about to be hit with even more heavy snow falls we took a brief break in the snow fall to clear the main access road and parking zones in order they remain safe and we maximis access to all the blocks, just look at the tonnes and tonnes of snow never seen so much and still it keeps coming.

Using everything at our disposal and all our connections and friends to keep things going
Municipality doing there bit when they can, but with so much snow  they have there work cut out.
In some parts we are pilled 2meter plus

When this lot melts there are going to be serious problems in lower bulgaria already we have had a Dam burst and many villages wiped out by flooding, and unfortunately fatalities
The snow plow pushes all the snow to the side of the road so we have to keep the access ways clear

Keeping the path ways clear when we can but its been just an endless task as quick as we clear its back again
Whilst its the municipalities job we have had to do our bit to keep the turning areas and parking areas as clear as it is possible to in these conditions.
