The board approved an allocation of funds in the capital account for more building repairs to keep it in a state of readiness for the capital renovation, the cultural and well being centre. Up to $4000 was earmarked to repair the sills in the corner of the annex and the main hall and by the door to the annex. The following pictures indicate the level of decay found (not nearly as bad as we feared) and the work done as of Dec 8, 09.

Over the last century water has intruded into the sill structure around the door opening to the annex. Although it looks bad the rot did not extend into the back side of the 6×8

Two days into it and the sill is replaced. Next the restoration of the trim complete with proper flashing to ensure this doesn’t happen again for another one hundred years.
