Construction on the various projects we approved at our annual meeting back in January will begin straight away in August.
First up will be the removal of the Underground Storage Tanks. The tanks are located between the church and the driveway on the west side of the building. Ross Environmental, from Stowe will be doing the work starting Wednesday, August 1. They will be working with Bourne’s energy to remove the propane tank (also buried). Bourne’s will replace with a larger underground propane tank. This work should be finished by Friday.
Next up is work on the rotting corner spires. The spires are rotting because of improper water drainage from the roof. We have contracted with Steve James to fix the rotten bits, and to correct the drainage so that the problem does not happen again. We have contracted with Steve several times over the past few years to build the deck on the front of the church and to rebuild the choir and organ loft. Steve hopes to begin work on the 13th of August.
As of today, the work for removing the old heating system and installing the new gas furnaces has not been scheduled. We’ll keep you posted.
