Good to hear that you are working on it.
Hope you can find the budget for wiring in the lodge as well. What I saw in there was pretty scary. Stuff in the walls is probably like what a coworker had in a house he was rennovating: individual wires running through ceramic insulators on adjoining studs.
Hello Steve203:
I appreciate your concern. However, (very technically)
"budgets" are not the issue -
funding is the issue. We have had contractors, architects and estimators all giving us budgeted costs to fix this or repair that. Now we have to raise the funds to pay for those budgeted items.
BTW, those costs are for
capital improvements and are separate and distinct from the
$60,000 in
operating expenses we need to raise each year just to keep the doors open.
As to the electrical in the Lodge Building -
not to worry. We are
NOT using any of the original wiring - much of it is still in place and it does look scary, which is why we decided not to use it. Anything requiring electricity is run from new wiring that was recently installed.
Again, if anyone is concerned about the future of the PPG, then your contribution will keep our team of volunteers working at this historic site.
Thanks, --Roger--
