Montague Grange seeks assistance on various building projects...
Montague Grange #141 will be undergoing a number of projects for which we will need volunteer labor. We will be meeting at the Grange for work parties once a month, on the Sunday after our monthly business meeting.
If you’’re interested in helping out, just use the Volunteer Sign-up Form to let us know when you’’re available and what you’’d like to help out with.
The work parties will run from 10am - 1pm on the following Sundays: April 5, May 10, June 6, July 5, Aug 9, Sept 6, and Oct 11. The projects we hope to complete include:
- Cupola Repairs:
The cupola has been leaking for many years and there is extensive rotting of the timbers. Beams need to be replaced, and the whole thing needs to be sealed up and painted.
- Access Ramp:
In order to accommodate the elderly or disabled members of our community, and to comply with ADA regulations, we need to install a wheelchair ramp into the front entrance.
- Wall Insulation:
Heating the Grange is a major expense in the winter, and a big reason is that the walls are uninsulated. - Entrance Make-Over:
The hall foyer needs to have the rolled vinyl flooring removed, and the maple flooring underneath sanded and tung oiled. Possibly the storage closet and / or the coat room as well.
- Cloakroom Make-Over:
Strip wallpaper, remove obsolete heating vent, remove/replace tired linoleum floor, repaint.
- Remove Drop Ceiling:
There is a beautiful tin ceiling in the main hall. It needs to be uncovered and have the lead paint stripped off.
- Building Side Sign:
The old Grange sign that hung on the right side of the building needs to be re-mounted.
If you feel like you could help with any of these projects, just use the Volunteer Sign-up Form to let us know when you’’re available and what you’’d like to help out with.
If you’re not able to join us for a work party, (or even if you are!) you can still help by donating much needed funds to help offset the cost of materials.
