Parish Hall Renovation - Week Three






Demolition continues on the ground floor and the basement. All of the old ceiling plaster has been removed. The ceiling joists are in remarkably good condition. There is some deterioration of the brick on the south wall due to leaks from the roof. Those repairs will be completed before the interior walls are finished.

The radiators have been removed to allow access to the old wainscoting. Paint is being removed from the back sides of the raditors. They will be reinstalled after the walls and wainscoting are installed.

In the basement all of the walls on the west side of the stairway have been removed.

In addition to all of the activity inside the building, a new roof is being installed over the parish hall. The white material is reflective and will help keep the space below cooler in warm weather resulting in a small reduction of our energy use.
