Disaster Update #6

Good Afternoon! I honestly have been trying to get this posted since 9:30 this morning, and have been getting interrupted almost constantly ever since I started. Oh well, enough about me… Here is the latest: Our insurance adjuster was here yesterday and recommended that we replace most of the flooring where water would have sat. That includes all of Friendship Lane, various offices, Fireside Room, Library, etc. I believe the decision was made that most of those surfaces will be covered with the new wood look vinyl planking that we’ve used in the West Unit, with the exception of the fireside room, which will get new carpeting. In fact, we have a couple of board members that put a bug in the right people’s ear, and as of this afternoon, Mark Koehn & Vince Unruh (Georgia) have a truck loaded with the flooring and are headed our way! They will be here in the morning. Last evening we had a bunch of Lone Tree, Suncrest, Hesston, and Hillsboro youth guys here tearing out carpets, moving furniture, and getting baseboard ready to go back on. This evening we have another group scheduled to start ripping the tiles off of Friendship Lane’s hall and resident rooms, so as soon as the new flooring gets here, we can start installing it!

The plans are still on go to start bringing our people back on Thursday. Have a good evening!
