Church gets a Partial New Roof

Early, on a quiet, foggy October Saturday morning, all the tools and supplies lie in wait for the work crew.

It is just starting to get light and we are ready to get to work.

The old shingles have all been ripped off and disposed in the trash bin to be recycled.

Old, soft underlayments have been replaced with newer and stronger sheets, and preparations begin for laying the new shingles.

Most of the new roofing material gets nailed into place before lunch break.

We had a lot of help, and everyone is committed to doing their share and getting the work completed quickly and correctly.

The older roofing of the fellowship hall needs to be replaced.

Estimated it was built in 1983, with this roof being the original layer.

The old shingles were removed so that the sheathing could be inspected, and that the new layer had a clean and smooth foundation.

We were pleased to see that the fellowship hall attic area is well insulated, with blown-in insulation material.

A work crew of 8 volunteers made good progress on this day.

It is also important to note, that having the right tools makes this and any job a lot easier to complete.

The roof is done, and, God willing, should last another 25 years

And, it matches the attached building fairly well.
