Trustee Talk - December 2025

 

Steeple repair – Rozzell crane service helped us remove the weathervane and capped off the peak preventing water intrusion. We were able to complete this task safely and in half the expected time.

November work day – Thanks to all who helped on our work day. We were able to button up the building and put finishing touches on a lot of tasks thanks to the help of a great crew of women and men.

Water leak at Yellow house – Ellen brought it to our attention that the yellow house water bill seemed extremely high. When you think about it, there should be little or no water usage since its rarely occupied. The Trustees contacted the Argyle water commissioner and we investigated. The meter is working fine, but we determined that the upstairs toilet must have been leaking. We adjusted the water level and plan to replace the toilet with a more modern and efficient fixture.

Heating Zones conservation - As we said last month we use environmental controls and isolation to manage our heating systems for the best comfort and economy. Many of you have stepped up and taken the initiative to help us out and we thank you. Some of the areas we still need help - the door on the multipurpose room needs to be closed year-round. Kitchen – when done please turn off the oven power switch on the front, select the off position on the oven exhaust hood (middle position, its two speed), turn the dishwasher off. Lights off. Power down and lock up! When in doubt please feel free to contact me or one of the Trustees.
