Seeing is Believing?

If I may remind you of what it looked like before...

And now, the new roof has gone on the church.  These are special shingles made from recycled aluminum.  They have a lifetime warranty and tests have shown remarkable things:  they reflect the sun's heat in the summer which cuts down on cooling expenses and they reflect back in the building's internal heat in the winter which cuts down on heating.  Plus they can withstand winds up to 160 mph.  
And they look COOL, don't you think?

 Also, the overhang is hanging!  So, now you can be dropped off at the front and stay completely dry--even when it's raining.  While we do not have immediate plans to enclose this space, the footers have been poured etc. so that it's ready for walls whenever the additional funds become available.
The Laughrun House also has the schnazzy new shingles too.

 And while there are many exciting changes, there are some things that remain the same:
Join us!  We've begun our two summer services:  8:30 and 10:30 every Sunday.  
Come see the new additions yourself.

Projects Update


NOW
·         They’ve finished the roof of the Laughrun House.  If it looks unusual, it’s because it’s a recycled aluminum (made in Canada), which comes with a lifetime  warranty.  It’s put on over a Teflon sheeting, so it’s a great insulator… and can withstand wind of 160 mph and snow will slide right off it.  Cool, right?
·         Now they’re starting to roof the church.
·         They’re roughing the plumbing work in.
·         The front is ready to pour.
·         Heating coils are laid out.
·         They’ve started to work on the heating and air conditioning system.
NEXT WEEK
·         They’ll continue roofing the church.
·         Solar tubes will be put in the bathroom and the hallway.
·         They may even start the front entryway.
…It all depends on the weather.
