Free timber off cuts at the Hall.
There’s a small amount of timber, a gutter box and some sheep netting left over from the roof project.

FREE TO TAKE AWAY.

HALL RE-ROOFING UPDATE

First of all, may we say a big thankyou to everyone in the community who has contributed to this marvellous project. Without your help we'd still be stuck back in Square One, emptying rain-drip buckets, and wondering what to do.

It's getting quite exciting. The plans are approved, the materials have been ordered, the dimensions for the trusses were double-checked on Wednesday, the weather's finally improved, and the work is expected to commence in a couple of weeks, beginning with the er****on of scaffolding.
So we're racing towards the start line!

Although the original funding target of $100,000 has been reached, there's been one or two extra costs for unanticipated things that hadn't been included in the budget, like a safety barrier around the work site (required by Worksafe), hireage of large tarpaulins in case of rain, up-grading of the hall's permanent fire and emergency features etc, so if you know of anyone who is still considering making a donation, but hasn't quite got around to it, please give them a wee nudge!

It'll be a bit chaotic for hall users whilst the work is in progress. Parking space will be reduced, and entry will often have to be through the side or kitchen doors. Also there'll need to be an induction process for visitors and hall users, just like there is for any public space building site, but please bear with us ... before long it'll all be over, and we'll have a brand new leak-proof roof that should last at least another 50 years.

Fingers crossed for dry weather (and not too much wind)!

Te Pahū Hall Roof - Please Donate

THE TE PAHŪ HALL NEEDS A NEW ROOF!

We are now a registered Charity so donations are tax deductible.

The main roof is rusting and needs new iron, and the entrance roof over the foyer and toilets needs a new roof structure.

Estimated cost is just under $100,000

So far we have about $35,000 from fundraising over the years, and $15,000 from recent donations to the project. So we're about half way there.

Please consider making a donation. 😀

More details are in previous posts, the tepahu.co.nz website and the Hall TV Noticeboard.

Please email [email protected], and the Treasurer - Wayne Humphries - will send details.

Thank you!
