Roofing Leaks (updated 10/13/21)

• The roof of the parish office is leaking. It was inspected and we were adviced to seal it and replace it in the spring. Bob applied some sealer that will be a temporary fix until the spring. 

Sanctuary Water Leaks (updated 9/29/21)

• We have a  company called Janssen Waterproofing working on trying to solve the water leaks in the sanctuary.  They are :

1. Removing upper metal wall panels - This is a tedious process labeling each panel and its location to assure they fit back properly in the same place.

2. Providing seals to areas that were discussed as potential leaks by : the Building and Grounds Committee (some of which have experience and knowledge in this area)..

3. Water testing the new seals to: see if they hold, as well as to see if there any new leaks.

Once those leaks are sealed, then work can be started inside the sanctuary and the sheet rock can be reinstalled. 

NEEDS - no minister needs for this project.

Electrical Projects Inside the Sanctuary (updated 9/29/21)

• Converting current compact florescent bulbs in the higher ceilings to LED

  • Current CFL light bulbs were installed in 2010 and have exceeded their life expectancy.

  • Some of the lights have already been converted where a scaffold or ladder could be used.

  • Changing the higher lights and those over the pews requires specialized lift equipment. 

• Lights spotlighting the statue of Mary and a future statue are planned to be installed/changed in the future.

• Elecrical wires need to be strung through the conduit to power future lighting, audio, and video updates.

Groundskeeping and Landscaping Projects (updated 10/15/21)
