I appreciate that many parishioners are aware of the $576.92 a week we spend to heat Trinity Church and are just trying to help, but "adjustment" of the thermostats in Walker Hall, the Guild Room, and the new wing just makes things a little more expensive.
This is especially true when both our diocese and insurer are encouraging us to set the thermostats a little higher given the extreme cold we are to face this weekend so that damage is not done to the more vulnerable aspects of the building and its sometimes-antique plumbing.
From Big Wafer Central:
"Set your thermostats at higher than normal when buildings are vacant; turn off non-essential and vulnerable water feeds; make sure all storm windows and storm doors are properly sealed and in place; make sure that gutters and leaders are free of ice and snow."
