Project Information
Project Started: August 7, 2010
Completion Date: Fall 2010
Status: Work in Process
Description of Task:
Mainly sanding. Usually takes 2 to 2.5 hours for a first sanding 2 panels of a door consisting of 6 panels with 50-grit sandpaper. Second sanding takes longer, especially to work on bottom of doors which have become weathered since varnish is old and peeled...
Volunteer(s): Murray Saul
Skill Set: Have sheet sander, able to sand. No belt sanders please...
Workload Task Illustration:
Notes:
Murray wanted to improve look of church entrance (which also included painting trim, and painting hand-rails). He asked and got permission from property facilitator to start work. So far he has averaged work on doors Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 11:15 am and 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Murray started in summer due to good weather, but is returning from summer vacation to work in September. Although he will continue to work on project, it needs to be finished before weather turns cold - volunteers would be greatly appreciated! Sandpapering is the task required. Should coordinate to avoid sanding when finish is drying on door.
Additional Notes:
Church doors will have a lighter appearance to foster newer, more welcoming appearance... In addition to door refinishing, door and stain glass window trim painted, iron railing painted, and rust stains to be removed... Church doors look better "in person" as opposed to picture displayed (due to use of flash)...

If interested in volunteering for this project, please contact the property facilitator...
