With the push of a few buttons, the deed was done this morning.
Two years ago, the folks who call this church their spiritual home finally saw new shingles fastened to the roof of the worship space. The re-roofing project itself took a number of years to get organized, and it took the better part of a wet and soggy summer to complete. Now, more than 17 months later, the next phase is about to get underway.
About a month ago, we received the drawings and specifications for the reconstruction work necessary in the bell towers. This is work that's been talked about around these parts for the better part of three decades, but always with a sense of resignation that it has to wait until someone else can do it. The waiting can't last much longer though so over the past couple of weeks, we've invited bids from five different companies, received bids from three of them, and now we've awarded the contract. To be sure, there is still the question of making sure that all the legalities are out of the way, but it won't be long now before the work will begin.
I'll do my best to keep you all apprised, and of course to post some pics of the work in progress.
