As our building has been prone to flooding under far less extenuating circumstances and we prefer not to get a Frequent Customer card from Stanley Steemer, we are having a whole-church work day tomorrow (9:00 AM - Monday, 1 September 2008) for those willing, able and available to help.
We will be digging some small trenches, cleaning and quick-fixing the gutters and scuppers that have not yet been repaired, clearing drains, procuring and placing sandbags, and doing other tasks in order to prepare the building for the heavy rain and wind that is expected.
Forecasters are saying that we should use the May flooding as a general indicator of what to expect, so even though we have already made some corrections to avoid the level of flooding we experienced then, we would much rather do the work beforehand than after.
On Tuesday (13 May 2008), All Souls experienced storm damage to the building and trees from the heavy winds and rain.
If you have a window fan, please label it with your name and bring it to the church on Friday between 10:30 AM and 4:00 PM.
Stanley Steemer is here right now extracting the rest of the water from the carpeting, but they recommend we use fans to keep the air circulating. They would normally be able to provide industrial fans, but theirs are already in use at other locations. We are hoping to have the carpets dry by Sunday morning.
We need help cutting up and hauling away the three trees that fell in the parking lot. Barbara Jarrell and the Walker family will be here Friday morning at 10:00 AM to start that job. If you can help, contact Barbara at 797-1957, email her at hoodathunkit@comcast.net, or just show up.
