Maintenance Projects
Many tend to think things slow down at the Newman Center during the summer, but in actuality, it’s a time for us to catch up and do all the things we didn’t do throughout the busy school year. This summer we cranked out a number of projects, from new shelving in our storage areas (some of the old wood ones were sagging, rotting, and molding) and reorganizing the storage areas, to ordering some new social hall items, to replacing the upstairs water fountains, to steam system repairs, to chimney repairs (tuckpointed the top 4 feet of both chimneys, one of them was ready to drop a brick onto the rectory driveway below), to cleaning all the radiators, to cleaning all of the carpets at Newman (this hadn’t been done in at least 4 years), cleaning air intakes, replacing or cleaning furnace and heater filters…along with other projects in the works. It was a busy summer, indeed!
Big thank you to Minh Le, who helped make all that happen! Pray for him, he is already out at the seminary at Mount Saint Mary’s for our diocese!
