Crew needed to tear out tile

Warren needs help Tuesday and Wednesday tearing out the tile in the pre-school/Sunday school building. Since the tile contains a bit of asbestos, it must be disposed of separately from other demolition debris. However, it doesn't contain enough asbestos to qualify as an "asbestos project" under air quality rules. So, volunteers can handle the job. Work starts at 7:30 a.m.

"We'll wet the floors down with hot water and then start tearing the tiles out," Warren says.

On Monday, a crew of four spent four hours tearing out the old carpet, which had been cemented to the aforementioned tiles in the preschool building. They also removed cabinets and doors. These will be re-used in the new building, donated or sold for salvage.

Also, the cover on the walkway between the pre-school building and the narthex needs to be torn down.

Warren has scheduled an excavator to start demolition of the two buildings next Monday, but the work detailed above needs to be done first. If all goes well, excavation could be done by Thursday, when concrete pouring for the new foundation could start.

Comment below to let us know if and when you'll be able to help. Warren will be checking the comments to see who to expect and when.
