Buildings and Grounds Work has been constantly underway throughout the first four months of 2015. Projects have included: 1) Fixing and painting the cracked walls and ceiling of our library; 2) Replacing the collapsed sewer pipe from the handicapped bathroom and main kitchen with PVC; 3) Carpeting the Minister of Music’s office through the vesting room; 4) Upgrading the spotlights and floodlights in the main sanctuary and on the north side of the building to LEDs, saving $300-$500 a year in electricity and bulbs; 5) Adding an inside spotlight to the chapel to improve visibility; 6) Repairing the fallen wall at East River Road (bids range from $5,000 to $20,000!); 7) Repairing the boiler igniter; 8) Completing the asphalt work in the north parking lot; and 9) Exploring options to fix the potholes in the back (west) parking lot.
