Update on the bell tower
We would like to inform the congregation that the fire damage repairs are on track to begin around the week of July 12th. Both the scaffold company as well as the timber framers will be available at this time. The building permit is in hand and materials with long lead times have been ordered. Budget discussions with the insurer are ongoing and we will be working to meet the project parameters within the provided budget.
Soon after the fire damage repairs begin, we will also restart the steeple crack and coating repairs. These projects will be happening simultaneously. It looks like the insurer is willing to meet most of our requests and we are looking forward to providing the Church with a successful project that we can all be proud of.
The fire sprinkler portion of the project remains under development at this time pending water flow tests, design and acceptance by the fire marshal. In the meantime, the fire sprinkler for the sanctuary is working as designed except for at the very top of the bell tower.
Thanks,
The Bell Tower Committee
The bell tower has been undergoing repairs since January 2020 as part of the vision of the Steeple Fund.
