Junior Warden Report by Rick Waterhouse

Parish Hall and Kitchen:
Thanks to Jim & Nancy Siglow, Lisa & Jim Simon, George Kaplan, Ken Blomquist, Ethan Kiger, Fr. John, and a skilled member of the NA group that uses the hall for meetings, the Parish Hall continues to shape up!
The ceiling tiles are all installed; hanging the blinds has begun and will be completed soon; the baseboard trim has been painted and will go on next week; and several of the doors are now closing more easily. Pro Flooring has our beautiful new floor down too!
The kitchen and the restroom renovations are waiting in the wings. Thanks for your contributions to completing the kitchen, and all of your hard work!
Sidewalks:
On the outside, we are poised to begin the replacement of the sidewalks around the churchyard. We have contracted with Lynch Repair and Remodeling, to have the work done. (Coincidentally, Judy and Pat Lynch’s grandchild will be baptized in the church!)
Here is the sidewalk schedule for the week of September 11th:
Monday – all sidewalks broken and removed.
Tuesday – Sidewalk from Church Point Road to side entrance of the church
and sidewalk from Hoopes Court to gravel driveway poured.
Wednesday – Sidewalk from side entrance of church to Hoopes Court
and sidewalk from gravel driveway to blacktop driveway by Parish House poured.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday for initial curing – NO FOOT TRAFFIC.
By Sunday, we will be able to walk on the sidewalks.
27 days from the pouring of concrete for further curing – NO LAWN TRACTORS, VEHICLES, OR HEAVY EQUIPMENT; 45 days from pouring until full cure.
Remember – patience is a virtue. Thanks!
