The story
The Short Story is: In April 2017 we discovered that a pipe broke in the restroom area. This caused a buildup of humidity and the development of mold. We called for a plumber to fix the break and called for some help on the mold issue. Experts told us that the mold was very dangeous to health and needed extensive specialist remediation - replacing all drywall, .... The cost is higher than our meager finances provide. Insurance after long negotiation agreed to cover most of the direct costs. Given the extensive required work we would like to revise the restroom area to better accommodate wheel chair bound people. We ask for your financial help to preserve this historic building into the modern era |
|
April 2017 A pipe burst in a rest room. The area was sealed and the air cleaned. |
  |
| Mold, particularly BLACK mold is seen as the major problem - a health hazard. |  |
 |
|
| Note the moisture on the ceiling vent. |  |
| The door to the area - from the inside. |  |
We got expert advice and then an estimate for remediation. This does not include:
|
 |
| All of the drywall had to be removed and later replaced. We undertook the removal before the insurance arrangements were resolved. |  |
| All new insulation. |  |
The neighboring cows were the major life around during 2017 so far. Nearly all (20+) events had to be canceled. |
 |
| Harmony Hall is a Historic landmark for the area and we hope to keep it alive. |  |
Several of the Hall neighbors in Charlton & Galway have offered financial contributions toward renewing the Hall. THANKS for this and any other help you can offer.
The address is 1401 Peaceable Street, Ballston Spa, NY 12020

Work in progress.
If possible we will try to adjust the restroom space to allow for wheel-chair users. |
