Rectory Update

Unfortunately, the saga at the Rectory continues. Two of the remaining items on the “to do” list, replacing the flat roof over the sunporch, and repairing the bricks on the chimney and other locations on the house, became more critical after several of the recent heavy rains. The two small leaks in the sunporch ceiling have now expanded in size and number. We are finishing up estimates for the work that needs to be done, but given the timing of baby Franklin’s entry into the world, we will plan to hold off on lining up the contractors for several months. Many thanks to John Kelleher and Mark Haynes who caulked and spread roofing compound on the porch roof in the hopes of buying some time before the work is scheduled.
