A little light news
By Kay Thomas
You've been asked to give
money-. Vou gave, and now you
want to know what's going on.
You've been asked for money, but
you wanted to see something hap
pening before you gave. Or, you
have a skill, some time, or
materials to give ... This report is
all for you.
Sandy Johnston, an experienced
restorer and a knowledgeable elec
trician/plumber sheetrocker/
painter is at work. Now, Sandy
would be the first to claim that she
is not licensed or trained in these
occupations. She has acquired
skills by renovating old houses.
She loves saving old buildings. She
admires the work of craftsmen
done long ago, recognizes the
value in old buildings. She is very
exacting about her work, and the
Depot Restoration Foundation is
very fortunate that she is over
seeing this project.
Changes in the appearance of
the building's exterior have taken a
great deal of time, and none of this
is visible to the casual observer. In
order to maintain the historical in
tegrity of the building, certain
methods of renewing the ap
pearance must carefully adhere to
guidelines of state and national
registries.
Sandblasting is absolutely for
bidden for old brick. Preserva
tionists know that a surface of
brick is blasted away in that pro
f fftf which leaves Lb* -brick more i
porous and vulnerable to more
rapid deterioration. Several
methods of chemical paint strip
ping are being studied. This will be
an expensive process. There is not
enough money on hand to do it
yet. .
Sandy has gotten estimates from
several roofing contractors. The
work on the roof must be done
before any finish work can be done
inside.
Long before finish work is all
the dirty tearing out and clearning.
Community service sentences by
judges have provided some labor
for this cleaning phase. There has
been help for clearing out interior
framing and carpet. There has
been help for scraping windows,
shoveling, and sweeping. Sandy
needed help for removing a small
room inside and some shelving.
She now has that done with the
help of some friends.
She has compiled a list of needed
materials and categories of labor.
She is spending a great deal of time
talking to contractors who might
bid on the work. Members of the
committee have or will be at work
on these phases:
--Clyde Upchurch has arranged
with Boren Clay Products for a
donation of 7,000 bricks to be built
into a protective wall on the
railroad-side of the depot. He has
also asked Hoke Concrete to
donate concrete for footings and
floors.
-Don Burrows has donated his
time as an elcrttiriaa* ? rj ? t y
-Steve Parker Is fo arrange tbr
the donation of some paint.
-Harold Gillis is investigating!
the possibilities of high school
vocational-training masons for the
brick laying. 5
-Bill Archer is to help arrange
removal of old, uneven concrete'
floors.
While all this is going on, com-,
mittee members will continue to.
look for donations of money.
Donations of lumber, lighting fix- |
tures, sheetrock, sheetrock mud,
styrofoam insulation, a mantle are
also being solicited. Later there
will be a call for volunteer
workers. The $30,000 estimate for
this project includes donated time
by skilled community volunteers.
(If you are pretty good at painting
or driving nails on Saturdays, you
qualify).
Raeford/Hoke Depot restora- |
tion Foundation committee
members, in addition to those
already mentioned, are: Bobby
Gibson, Chairman, Mary Archie
McNeill, Jimmy Wood, Bill Ar
cher, Sarah Leach, Charlotta
Howell, Bobby Conoly, Emmie
Huff, and Warren Johnston.
Beverly Pasternak, Executive,
Secretary of the Chamber of Com-;
merce, is serving a very important,' |
role in keeping the members;
abreast of the constant
developments.
