Phil dropped by the library around 12:00 p.m. He told me that he was doing some research on the Internet to find a company that could reproduce the balustrade that was rotted through. He gave me a print out from the Blueberry Woodworks Web site (http://www.traditional-building.com/brochure/members/woodturners.shtml)
He also mentioned that he was discovering more spots of dry rot and warped wood on the balcony area. I suggested that someone from the board go up on the balcony with Phil to take digital photos and notes of all of the damage so that we would have a complete picture of what further repairs are needed beyond the paint job itself. He left saying that he would continue with his on-line research.

At 5:00 p.m., Camille called and said that she had been by the Temple and found that Phil had painted or primed all but one balustrade. So maybe the others were not so badly damaged that they needed complete replacement. Camille is still trying to find a local woodworker with a lathe to reproduce the one balustrade that needs replacement.
