8.
Reade Room
Southwest Corner
A new door was installed.
The triangular soffit was removed, and the
walls and ceiling were finished in matching
beaded board, and the trim was duplicated.
The door color was darkened and the door
jamb to match the paneling.
A nice frame was built around the outside
of the door.
9.
Outside Lighting
As a matter of security
- both to protect the
chapel and to prevent injuries, the two porch
lights were changed to go on with an electric
eye and stay on at night.
The northwest porch light was
replaced with
a more attractive light.
The same light was
purchased for the other two entrances and
will be installed in the future.
And finally, lighting was installed
along the
ramp on the west side.
10.
Northwest Entry Stair Safety
Those
stairs have caused quite a few people
to trip and fall.
Remember this sequence:
One step, landing, three steps, landing, one
step.
That’s
why people kept tripping
-
especially that last step!
We considered
putting theatre-type lighting on the stair
nosings to make them more visible, but
decided instead to put in strips of
contrasting carpeting.
