I closed this weekend on the church in Coxsackie so real work can start now.
But as of this minute there is neither electricity or running water at the site. Now that I have official ownership with title and bill of sale, I can open accounts with Central Hudson for electricity and natural gas, but my carpenter, David, and I got some work done nonetheless. David showed me how to tear a sheetrock wall down. It was great fun.
He also took down the crappy kitchen cabinets.
I feel that the church is being saved. After being all on its own for over a year, it developed a moisture problem that is always accompanied by a moisture odor. Just having people and sunlight and fresh air coming through the house this weekend has done it a world of good.
We have a plan of action for this week. This week, the rear deck chimney comes down (more on that in the next post) and the hazards on the south side of the church get removed. AND I am hoping to get the water up an running.
