December was an especially busy month here at CREA. In addition to our various projects, fair trade sales and holiday mailings, we were having vinyl siding, insulation and energy efficient windows installed. This big project was another step to make CREA House energy efficient and to save on heating expenses.
At the beginning of the month, we chose a new blue and grey color scheme to replace the familiar dark brown. Staff members Deborah Thompson and Dihana Davis got a head start sanding and painting the front porch pillars, ledges, and building accents. Soon after, workers began to put on the siding. As that job was being finished, our friends and CREA board members Clara and Paul Andersen and their son Karl came on two weekends to put in new windows on the first and second floors and add insulation around them. Everything turned out beautifully, just in time to decorate for Christmas.
