Leaking Roof

And in the "What Next??" department...
A year ago I told the folks at church that the church roof was leaking. Nothing was done. In September, the turkey-dinner committee discovered that the kitchen roof was leaking. The decision to repair was made that week. Bids were obtained, and within 3 weeks the repairman was hired.

He didn't come do it. The roof isn't fixed yet.
Can't be fixed now. Not until spring's thaws.

We had a relatively warm day last week. Almost 30. Because the roof is flat and black, that was enough sunshine to start melting the snow and ice. The church kitchen started getting wet again. The ceiling and walls and cupboards are being damaged. But most of the stuff is safe; dishes, glasses, counters, and silverware are designed to be washed, which means they can get wet without being ruined.

But now Gary's study is leaking too. He keeps books in there. And a computer. This is not good. Books should not get wet. We're trying to figure out where the contents of his office can go.

  1. And if it isn't taken care of soon, there will be bigger problems with mold. Praying the repairs can be made soon! Sorry to hear about this "what's next?" episode.

  2. Now you have something to fill up all those empty spots you've been making at the parsonage by geting rid of things.

  3. Hey, those empty spots have been made because I have to come up with space for that new heater they're intending to put in. So I may possibly have made enough room to fit in that huge contraption, and now we need to think about bringing gobs of books into the house too? We're going to be more crowded than we were before the decluttering marathon began.
