The House of Flags remodeling project is moving fast. The restroom addition is closed in, as is the front lobby/entrance. The remodel is now ready for electrical work to begin. Dale Musselwhite is the House of Flag’s electrical contractor. He will be establishing a new entrance panel and wiring the two additions for starters.

The House of Flags will hold a workday this Saturday, March 12 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Organizers are looking for a few volunteers to pitch in and help with the following:

• General sweeping and pitching stuff;

• Pulling down 1×4 firing strips from the ceiling;

• Removing the 3″ water pipe from the ceiling;

• Removing small cast iron drain pipes from upstairs floor;

• Pulling staples and small bits of insulation backing paper from the ceiling in the middle room, ground floor;
