Raise the roof!



Holy Trinity has been the scene of some serious activity the last couple weeks as Trimble Construction began work on the south side roof and steeple. Neither severe thunderstorms or extreme temperatures got in the way of construction as workers laid shingles, repaired the roof, and repainted the louvers. The R & R committee looked into wrapping the louvers in aluminum so that they would last longer, however, after inquiring with Trimble about the cost of doing this, it was decided to only repair and repaint them. Everything besides the louvers on the bell tower will be covered with aluminum, including the soffet and facia. The committee also decided to repaint the chimney white again. They decided that if the paint was to chip and flake off, it would expose a different color underneath and would not look uniform. Questions have also recently arose concerning the foundation and moisture problems in the basement of Holy Trinity. These problems and potential solutions plan to be addressed at the next meeting.
