The Meeting has received a wonderful contribution from Ken Bean, our painter. He gave us a very low quote to do a ton a work, which was for all the cathedral ceiling rooms. He did that work, and contributed his labor to finish the entire building first coat of paint over the primer. It looks great! This work, as expected, makes many repairable imperfections in the walls stand out upon even at a cursory inspection. Our job, now, is to make those repairs and get the final top coat on where needed, which is most of the building.

The housing committee hopes to have a lot of volunteer assistance to get this work done and the first opportunity is this Saturday. Given Ken's contribution, the work plan has changed. Starting at 9:30 we will be lightly sanding and filling imperfections, then sealing those spots with paint. We'll also be edging in order to roll the second coats. It's careful, detail work. Then final top coat of paint over the walls that need it. If you can come, please bring a lunch, sanding blocks, and putty knives. It is very helpful to know if you can come to help and what hours you plan to work. Please contact Greg Heath at gregoryheath [at] comcast [dot] net or at 783-4401.
