Junior Warden, Annual Report, 2017
Helmut Linne von Berg

The following St. Peter’s Church property maintenance and repair projects were undertaken
during 2017.

1. The “leaning” former bell tower in the church yard cemetery was straightened, repaired and
painted. Three vents were installed so that the historical tower is now a first class equipment
shed sitting on a poured concrete slab.

2. The large dead tree in the church front yard with a huge bird nest on top finally was blown
over during a stormy night. It did considerable damage to our fence which was repaired.
Thanks to Johnny Davis and Alex Long for repairing the damaged grounds.

3. A leaking window in the Sunday School building was repaired.

4. Children’s furniture in the Sunday School building was repainted.

5. Three sunken, damaged brick walkways were replaced with raised, professionally installed
pavers.

The walkways led:
a) from the church back door to the parking lot; a step was eliminated,
b) from the parking lot to the rectory back door and
c) the patio in front of the Sunday School building.

6. According to recommendations by our County Sheriff Department, padlocks were installed
on church and rectory basement doors, as well as on the buildings’ circuit breaker boxes.

7. A keyboard for the padlock keys was manufactured and installed in the sacristy area.

8. Repair/reconstruct church sign from church front entrance. This sign is currently being
professionally painted and lettered.

9. Sand and repaint church sign post in church front yard.

10. Manufacture and install temporary safe, steel grate cover for the front right heat/AC outlet
in the church.

11. Install professionally manufactured permanent steel, ornamental grate covers for front left
and right heat/AC outlets in the church.
