Eyre Peninsula, Australia
Thank you to the Eyre Peninsula Community Foundation for their $2000 grant towards replacing the electrics in our Main Hall.
Once scaffolding is secured Brett Unsworth of Livewire Electrical in Kimba will complete the works.
This funding has help secure funds for the final stage of the Institute’s complete Electrical overhaul and is most appreciated.
Last year, when removing the kitchen ceiling to gain better access to electrical wires, it was discovered that the tin was seriously rusting away where the two sheets met in the middle of the roof.
It was quite obviously that the corrosion would have a serious effect on any future works and ruin any replacement ceiling or electrics. So the old tin had to go!
This week our new kitchen roof and gutters was installed and it looks great!
The next step now is finally looking at the electrical work in the kitchen area and hopefully finding and fixing the 3 phase fault which has been an issue for the Institute for many years.
