Property – Jack
Report as follows:
PROPERTY REPORT JAN. 8 /08
The furnace quit and we had Marc to get it started needed a part and he got an extra one to have for back up as the unit is getting old and parts could be scarce in the future.
The odor problem seems to be fixed, Ron & I removed the baseboard & detected a sewer gas smell we sprayed the area replaced the base. On the outside there was a clean out pipe that was capped we removed the cap and installed a vent and that fixed the problem.
Brenda asked me if we could store some surplus cupboards that had been removed when they installed new ones; I moved them & a door to 68 main.
The co-operatives have been billed for the snow plowing at the same rate they paid last year.
I have been checking the heat at 68 Main, set at 41 F seems to be working ok.
I asked Earl to get bill from John Hedrick for clearing snow from doors and thank him for a job well done.
Thanks Jack
