December 2012 church inspection
Description - F- year found, C - year completed
Boiler Room - Corrision and leaks in boiler blow-down lne. The water softener drain had been routed thru this pipe and the salt corroded it. That has been changed, but the pipe still has corrosion and leaks. Rob recently patched it with JB Weld. He will monitor it and let us know if changes need to be made. He did not recommend replacing it right away because the ongoing corrosion has been stopped. The pipe has a long run and some joints that would be replaced and it would be very heavy. F - 2011
Education Wing - Replacement/upgrade of windows in education wing. Second floor, north-side windows are in the worst condition. F - 2011
Start phase-in of new florescent bulbs. Old ballasts can not be replaced. F - 2010
Sanctuary - Potential roof leakage on sanctuary south-side low-bay area. F - 2011
Kitchen - Repair/replace dishwasher room exhaust fan. A replacement motor is not available. A new fan will be required. F - 2012
Exterior - Sanctuary Roof - Replace missing shingles on Sanctuary Roof.. Replacement took 3 packs of shingles. Rob will blow grit from shingles off the roof so the drains don’t get clogged. There are lots of loose shingles that he could tack/cement down, however he recommends that we let them blow off during wind storms and he will replace them. In that way the roofing will gradually all be replaced. Also, there are two layers of asbestos shingles under the current ones. Three layers is all the building code allows so re-roofing the entire church would be a haz-mat problem. F - 2012, C summer 2012
