Flood Recovery in Vermont
The rain came down and the floods came up...
MacKenzie House
A hard working crew from the Underhill Community Church made good progress on Saturday, February 18. More mudding got done, partitions were put in place, and drywall was installed on the shower rooms.
On Friday, February 24, we will begin cutting the floor for the shower drain lines. We have a new sign for out front that needs to be installed. We will be digging into wiring and plumbing in the coming weeks. Any electricians and or plumbers out there? We plan on doing some painting in the kitchen. Also door locks need to be installed. We will continue on the partitions.
Lots of projects. So come on down. Friday, February 24 and Saturday, February 25. We also plan for work on Friday and Saturday March 2 & 3.
Hours are from 9:00 to 3:00. Bring your lunch if you plan to stay for the day. Come as often as you can and stay as long as you are able!
(Note: there is currently no running water on site. Cell phones do not work but there is a phone: 802-485-9494.)
The buildings are located just off Route 12 in West Berlin (between Montpelier and Northfield). Follow this link for directions and a map.
