Walls and trim need painting

This is the hallway to the two bathrooms next to the kitchen. The wood trim needs to be primed and painted. Also the walls painted too.

Our church van needs cleaning out. On our work day the 12th someone could drive it to the vacuum place in Princeton and clean it out.

Thermostat covers also need metal screen covers to protect from dodge balls

One is broken and one is AWOL!! I am ordering new ones but also need wire screen protection. We need the same over our Emergency Lights. Anyone like to make something for these?

Pulling damaged panels from rolling partitions put good ones together

We need to take out bad partitions and put good ones in their place. Then we can fix all the bad ones together.

Sept. 12th project---1 downspouts to do! Bring your shovel

This is the last downspout. If some of you could come and bring your strong able bodied sons to dig this up and reconnect this job could be history in 2 or 3 hours. We are only digging up about 8 feet out from the building and inserting PVC sewer pipe. This gives us a glued, leak proof downspout to the existing drain corrugated pipe.To do this we need a couple guys. I will have all the supplies but you need to bring the shovels and the muscle.-----------
-------------------------------------------
This down spout is the last one to do and we or done. This is the northwest corner of the sanctuary.

May need new caulking around frame

I noticed the light is crooked--anyway--- we need to seal the cracks in this caulking.

Fall and spring A/C removal and install

Pastor Chad,Pastor Al and Sheryl all have these window A/C units. If someone would like to step forward and volunteer to remove them in the fall and reinstall them in the spring that would be great. They were overlooked this winter and they do cause a draft and heat loss. Thanks.

Another downspout DONE!

We finished the downspout and drain at the northeast side. It looks like it will direct water out and away. Good job boys! Jeffrey W., Ryan W. and Mark W. all worked on this. I'll give you boys a good reference when you are looking for a job!






Some of our door stops are missing the rubber end piece. Does anyone know where we can get more of them? ACE?

Peeling paint around windows on south entrance door way

The decision is still needing to be made whether to paint or cover this wood with metal to make it maintenance free. I like the sound of that! If we could paint this on the 12th that would be great. Ask Lyn if she knows if we have this paint in storage, otherwise get it at ACE.

South facing entrance door---DONE---------Thanks Jim H.

The weather stripping is coming off at the bottom of these double doors. It needs some small screws and a drill motor. Probably a 15 minute job. May need to run to the hardware store for the right size screws.----------Task accomplished--Thanks to Jim H.--------Looks good!!!-----The bottom seal may need replacing--fair amount of light showing through. This may need more attention on the bottom, the light comes through. If you want to go to ACE and get another door seal for the bottom of the door that would be great!

Residential size gutter-------More water in basement.

We added a 5' piece of downspout to get past these cracks in the side walk. Too late though because it rained heavy on the 14th and wet the basement again. We still want to caulk these cracks soon. I have caulking in the boiler room. Put some foam in the crack and fill it with caulk.
There seems to be a problem with there being a crack in the cement. As far as we can tell (Jim H. and Jerry W.) the water runs in the crack and into the basement. We maybe wrong but it would be safe to put a gutter extension on this until we can look into sealing the crack. Got comments? I will buy a piece if no one has any at home they want to part with.

Rotten railroad tie

If anyone has 4' piece of railroad tie they want to get rid of bring it to the church.

Chair set up crew-need volunteers

Vic B. still needs a partner or two to help on chair set up. The schedule is set up for each team to tear down and set up once a month. Give Vic a call if interested. Thanks!

Baptistery

The baptistery will be used on September 20th at around 12:30 pm. It is being borrowed by a local church. It may need to be rinsed out on the 12th---our church work day. If anyone could do that then that would be great. Thanks.

Partition alert--need help--big job

We have quite a few of these that need attention. Maybe we could meet every week in the evening for a couple hours. This needs more than just a work day effort. Is there an evening at church that is best for any of you? Wednesday may be good until AWANA. It is easy but tedious. Takes a little training and off you go.

More painting projects done--Aug. 15th

Gary and Lyn L., Alice H. and Vic B. took on some painting projects Sat. Looks great!

West side downspout/drain replaced--Aug. 15th

Thanks Mike Sch. Mike's helper and Mark H. for taking care of this drain on the west side of the church. One more to go and then they will all be done!

It has been said that if you want something done ask a busy man. Well, I did. Michael Sch. will be heading up the work "half" day on the 15th. He may need to leave early because he is haying also. He is a farmer too ya know.--------------------------------These are some of the gallon paint cans we have in storage. We want to see what we still use and what we can get rid of.---Lyn L. can help us with that.----------------------------Look at the blog and see what you want to do.---------Bring your own tools to guarantee you can do the project. -Bring your sons and work together--it's fun!------------------------If you can't make it this Sat. then check your schedule for September 12---- Bennet W. will head that one up.

We have our drainage supplies for the downspout project and one new toilet seat. Life is good!

We dug away the dirt from the downspout on Monday and while I was there on Wednesday it began to rain so I took a picture of the area at the downspout and watched the puddling of water at the northeast corner of the church. Yes, Houston, we have a problem.

It rained on Sunday and when I felt the carpet on Monday here at the northeast corner of the sanctuary is was damp. The downspout is on the other side. The water is not staying in the pipe--it leaks.

These downspouts are not hooked up in a way that directs water away from the building. All three of them need to be reconnected so water does not leak by them.

I noticed the garage door that faces the north has some gashes in it. You can enlarge the pictures to see it better. Has anyone seen these before? Maybe we should make this light a motion detector.

Old vs. new fixtures

We are entertaining a possible cost effective alternative to replacing ballasts. We may need to consider changing the entire light fixture to a more efficient one. Then we could save electricity and match the ones we have in the rest of the church. The old part of the church has the old style fixtures. We will be discussing this idea more.
