Update From Roof Communication Team
The  roof replacement project was to begin this week. Weather this past June set-back our contractor (and a lot of others) on their projects, so they're finishing those now and will begin ours soon, sometime after Monday,  August 21. The repairs done this spring are holding very well, even with some fierce storms pummeling the roof with floods of water (the same storms that have delayed our contractor). The date for beginning the project will be published when it has been determined.  Roof Communication Team: Sue Ames, Tim Farnum, Ken Buckle.
