A big thanks to the Annual Pest Management team who recently attended the offices of AD Body Corporate for some team training.

Was a great session for our staff. The scones were appreciated also and great to hear about the history of this family owned business.

Three times a year we close all our offices and our whole team gather together for a training day. With over fifty people involved it’s a great day full of learning, laughter and touching base. A massive thanks again to our hosts Dendy Theatre as well as our guest speakers – Genelle and Marianne from DIB, Craig Stanley from CHU, Mark from Law Solve, Nathan and Craig from Strata Max, as well as our AAA Body Corporate General Manager Tina Scanlon. Could not be more proud of our team who managed laughter alongside a lot of hard work and focus.

We are very pleased to announce that AD is now managing the Gasworks in Newstead. The initial meeting with the Committee was a really positive occasion and it’s exciting to be working with such a hands-on and proactive Committee.

 

AD Body Corporate has moved to 26 Brooke Street Bowen Hills. We hope that when the Covid situation allows you can drop by and say hi to the team.

As well as new offices we have some great new processes. One of these is the possibility of General Meetings on Teams or Zoom.

Whether you are the landlord, tenant or owner-occupier, reduce wear and tear with these quick fix ideas.

1. 1. Holes in Walls
      Photo frame hooks, screws, and other wall attachments can leave behind ugly holes in your walls. These can be easily filled in with a wall filler which can be purchased at hardware stores. For smaller holes, apply filler directly into the hole and smear over with a putty knife. Holes larger than 1cm should be covered with a wall repair patch first. Once the filler is dry, sand down the edges so that it blends completely into the wall. Look out for the various colours of filler available to blend in with your existing wall colour.

 

1. 1. Scuff Marks
      Scuff marks on the walls can make your apartment appear dirtier than it is. While an all-purpose household cleaner can remove some scuffs, stubborn marks can be covered with touch-up paint. Hardware stores can mix the matching colour if you are able to provide a paint chip from your wall. Dilute the paint with a paint reducer first to slow down drying time – this helps the newer paint blend in better with the surrounding area. Latex paint should be diluted with water.

 

1. 1. Carpet Stains
      Stains on your carpet make your home appear unclean. The best way to remove a stain is to tackle it with a carpet stain remover before it sets in. For heavily stained carpets, professional carpet steaming is the way to go. Not only does it remove stains, professional carpet steaming also penetrates deep into the fibres to lift out dirt and pollutants, extending the life of your carpet and creating a healthier environment. It is generally recommended that carpets be professionally steamed once a year. Apartments with children and pets, allergy suffers, and smokers should have the carpets professionally steamed more frequently.

 

1. 1. Wall Indents
      Dings and indents can make your wall appear uneven. Indented or rough patches on the wall can be smoothed by lightly sanding over the area with fine-grit sandpaper. Run your hand over the area every couple of sands to ensure you do not accidentally over-sand the area. Repeat this process until the area is smooth.

 

1. Hardwood Scratches
   While hardwood floors are much easier to clean than carpet, they can also be much more easily scratched. For shallow scrapes, use a stain pen along the scratch until it begins to blend into the surrounding hardwood. For deeper scratches, fill the scrape in with a wood filler first before using a stain pen.
