This Grand Old Lady is starting to stand proud again in the community!

 

By the end of 2008 We had completed many repairs and updates
check out some before and after pictures

Updated "Christmas at the Boyertown Inn 2008"

But here is where we started with a white mountain in August 2008

But Mid-September we had much of the paint off and many repairs done

As we close out the painting season in October we see four colors starting to appear

and it looks Awesome!

Working together to make a difference!

Mark Malizzi (Director of Thunder Outreach), Rick Houck (Owner of the Boyertown INN)

and Robin Freimann ( Volunteer, Painting Expert and site Foreman)

Some of the big columns on the front porch were very damaged and weathered, but we can fix them  

Our Volunteer paint expert ( Robin Freimann) also has ways of saving and repairing the big columns

They are now Saved, Repaired, Primed and ready for fresh paint!

Even Robin's 4 year old son Christian wanted to help ! (Like father Like son!)

We had 2 lifts working together Thank you Longacre Electric and Powerco Equpment Rental!

 

6:00 am , what a great sight as the sun came up, what colors and what a great day it was!

Clean up and paint removal was made much easier with 3500 psi of water pressure from our monster pressure washer donated to us from

Leroy Jones who owns On-Site Service in Boyertown

The 40 foot plus moble lift from Pete Bryant and Powerco Rental of Allentown made it much easier and safer to reach some of the high spots! Thank you for your help!

 

We want to thank the Awesome people from Longacre Electric

who have been helping reach all the high stuff!

Check Out the view from the top of the building in the bucket truck!  WOW, it was Awesome!

Devon Longacre was a big help with many hours of AIR time in the big lift bucket truck!

Thank you Devon.

We did some repairs on the upper brick work, check out before and after!
