Projects

1. SIGN:  New sign, Metal roof and wood siding has been installed, new LED lights are up and wood is painted.  Next step is to wrap the old posts with a nice wood finish.  Bruce Leonard and Mark Hadman will be installing the wood.  Area around the sign will have a large rock boarder and then filled in about 24" above existing surface area.  Area will be landscaped.  Bruce Leonard working on this.  Any physical help is appreciated.  No exact schedule set yet.  Hope to complete ASAP.  Any comments or questions please direct to Larry Sutherland or Bruce Leonard.
2. BASEMENT DOORS: New metal doors with new locks and hardware are installed and substantially complete!  YEAH!
3. PORTABLE REBUILD:  Demolition and clean out of the portable are complete.  Jason Abston, Jack Besaw and Larry Sutherland are working with a local contractor to secure a quote to rebuild back to today's standards.  Once the building has been gutted, we will be meeting with contractor on site to go over all we would like to see done in regards to the rebuild.  Once a quote has been provided, reviewed and agreed upon a schedule will be set for the rebuild to take place.  We hope to have this complete within the next few months if all goes well.  Please direct any questions to any one of the three Deacons listed   -  NOTE*** We have been told that the new ramp to the portable will be aluminum and will be donated to the project.
4. AWNING AT CHURCH ENTRY:  The awning has an issue and is leaning a bit an is to be evaluated by the same contractor we are working with for the portable.  Once a solution to the problem and a repair quote is received, we will review it and proceed as needed.  At the same time of any construction on the awning we will be removing the old concrete and rock border.  A new concrete walkway will be installed and a railing installed on both sides of the approach.  The old white brick will be removed and replaced with a cultured stone .  No schedule set yet.
5. FENCE ALONG FRONT: Fencing along the front that will be the same as recent fence install will be installed ASAP.  Awaiting contractor to have time for installation.  Contractor has been given approval.  May wait until after rock and landscaping is complete at the sign.
6. CHILDRENS PLAYGROUND:  Working to determine what is the best way to update the existing playground and to move the fencing or add fencing to make the area larger, looking for and pricing new toys.  Anyone who may have a lead on a big toy or such please contact anyone on the deacon board.
