Property News – Exterior Lighting Update

We continue to make improvements to our building and grounds.

Last week a team from Klock’s Electric arrived to restore power to the north-most patio lamp in front of the sanctuary.  That wiring was severed when the sprinklers were installed.  We also replaced a non-working socket in one of the lamps further north in front of the office entrance.  All 4 of the lamps along Whitis Ave. are now working again! 

ALL of the exterior fixtures are fitted with LED lamps and are photocell-operated which means the lights automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn – thus being energy efficient while keeping things dependably well-lit at night.

Thanks to Randy B., Terry P. and Paul B. [the guy with ALL the tools] for helping to dismount these fixtures so that the electricians could do their work.

Paul B. power washed the lamps and the railings a while back, knocking off loose paint and grime in order to get them prepped for a shiny new coat of black paint – happening soon!

He also has some other ideas for getting things spiffed up around our courtyard space – more power washing and painting tasks – stay tuned for opportunities to help.
