Elk Run Church Museum Finishes Outside Tasks and Begins Interior Painting
July 24, 2010
VDOT approved the gravel parking lot in late May, and Karl Hertag installed the stained and water proofed wooden hand rails on the handicap ramps on 22 May. Becky Garber later that day completed puttying the nail holes in the trim and T-111 panels. On 23 May about 30% of the interior walls was painted. Once this work is completed, we will apply for a final inspection and occupancy permit.
The Germanna Foundation is planning to visit the Elk Run Church site and Mini-Museum on Friday, 16 July as part of their 2010 Annual Conference.
Another Outside Task is Completed
April 2, 2010
The Museum parking lot area was finished with a heavy layer of 21A stone material by Matthew Gulick on 2 April.
A VDOT inspection will be scheduled in the near future. Staining and installing the finished wooden hand rails
on the handicap ramps will be our next outside objective. Painting the Museum interior walls will be scheduled soon.
Help needed painting the inside and finishing up the outside
March 7, 2010
Today, Karl Hertag assisted Frankie Dodson in putting up the Porch ceiling and helping Frankie install the maintenance free fascia and soffit covering on the Museum. Frankie Dodson is a friend of one of our volunteer carpenters, Mark Barber, and works for a Siding Company. He did an excellent job and at a fraction of the cost of original estimates. Another major milestone has been completed and photos of finished work are below.
Installing the finished wooden hand rails on the handicap ramps and completing the parking lot area with a heavy layer of 21A stone material will be our next outside objectives. Inside, the countersinking of nail holes and puttying them will be started as soon as the weather stays around 50 degrees or higher. Painting the Museum interior walls will have to wait for warmer weather.
Volunteers will be needed to do both inside and outside tasks. Please let me know what tasks and times are best for you so that keys, materials and assistance can be provided.
