The Steeple has to go

Tatesbrook will be losing its steeple sometime soon. Donovan has been doing some investigation and has found that our perpetual leaking problem in the foyer is not uncommon to other churches with steeples. We've had the shingles replaced but we never moved the steeple to do the job right. In order to fix the leak, we will need to take the steeple down and replace the shingles underneath the steeple.

My proposal would be not to put it back up if it will just be causing trouble again down the road.

I agree!~ We need something much cooler like a Frish's Big Boy or something! Down with the steeple up with opperation make a mess!

Operation "Make a Mess" and the proposed "Frish's Big Boy" will both have to go through the process of approval through the administration team before they are scheduled.

Both "Make a Mess" and "Frish's Big Boy" have effects on the other bodies that use the building, so there has to be communication and a plan with the other bodies before proceeding.

Personally, I think "Make a Mess" has a better chance of living beyond next week. ( Implication is that "Frish's Big Boy" won't make it )

Two updates:
1) This needs to happen soon (LCF is moving along on the bookstore and will need this repaired prior to finishing )
2) Someone should investigate if it can be "moved forward", ie. move the unavoidable leak over the outdoor entrance instead of the indoor foyer.
