Chimney Work and Other Trustees Ventures

Submitted by Susan Angell:
Exciting things are going on at Peoples. Peter Fournier Masonry is busy working on our building and sanctuary cement entrance repairing our building and will also be replacing the deteriorating chimney at the parsonage. Years of Maine weather has taken its toll on the mortar of our buttress’ (pillars which hold up the building), around windows, doors and steps. This opportunity to make the repairs before the situation became dire was due to a recent bequest by Grace Corey’s Estate.

Saturday, the 10th of October the Trustees held an out door clean up and gutters were cleaned by Chuck and Dana, the sanctuary doors were sanded by Brad and Jim, the sidings was repaired by Walter, the windows were sealed by Doreen and Susan weeded all the cracks and crevices in the walks and parking areas so that they can be cold packed. Joanne made the crew Southern sausage and biscuits to keep up their strength.

Saturday, the 17th of October, Walter will be pruned overgrown bushes in the parsonage yard with Susan trying to assist.

Chuck has already replaced some of the out door lights as well as other small jobs. The Ellis Hall thermostat was checked out by Hank Dunn and the possibility exists that they are set correctly but not operating in the correct manner and may need to be replaced.

Saturday, the 24th of October, our own Boy Scouts will arrive to rake the church grounds. Walter will be bringing his truck to haul away the leaves and church people will join in too for raking and cleaning up the garden.

Busy, busy, busy!!!
