Museum interior almost finished; outside work needed for building approval

December 6, 2009

With Karl Hertag’s carpentry skills we reached another major milestone by installing the remaining inside corner trim, window trim and door trim, including the countersinking of almost all of the nail holes.

After Christmas we will need volunteers to putty nails holes, etc to prepare the interior walls for a final coat of paint. Let us know what time is best for you so that keys, materials and assistance can be provided.

Now that the major inside work is done, the remaining outside building tasks need to be completed so we can get our final building approval early next year. They include installing 1/2 inch painted plywood ceiling under the porch roof, installing finished wooden hand rails on the handicap ramps, installing the soffit board under and behind the fascia trim and completing the parking lot area with a heavy layer of 21A stone material.

Also, Sarah Gulick is working on an initial set of Museum Wall history display items and we hope to provide you with a progress report on that after the Holidays.

It will be one year ago on 9 December that we got our Building Permits approved and started planning for putting the roof on our Museum. We want to thank all of you who made this possible and the progress we have achieved thus far.

We wish everyone Merry Christmas, Good Health and a Happy Holiday Season.
