We have known for some time now that the veranda needed repairs, but once we started, we soon realized it practically needed to be rebuilt. The 6x6in inner column supports have now been replaced with treated wood. The columns will be rebuilt around the supports. The ceiling rafters, etc. will be replaced as needed, and a new roof and flashing will be applied. The gutters will either be replaced or repaired and stabilized. In addition to the Veranda, we have contracted for a new roof for the rest of Palmyra.
We look forward to having this finished before our Alumni Reunion in September. Donations for this unexpected expense are welcome; please remember that Patterson School Foundation is a non-profit organization, so all gifts are fully tax-deductible. Thank you!
