F. 2019 Deployment (Work starts on Thurs, 30 May 19): Harry Wallace reported that the subfloor on for the Kates home was completed, as of 1 May 19. Framing/Roofing Crew Leader Bob Corsi suggests reducing the height of future foundation walls for cost and safety reasons by installing a tankless water heater on the main floor so the 5’-4” floor to ceiling clearance be not need for a conventional hot water heater in the crawl space and that the crawl space storage height be limited to 4 feet. The Construction Director found a electric tankless water heater, EcoSmart ECO 27 online and available at ACE Hardware for $559.59 in Bellevue and Oneida, TN. The unit is suppose to save up to 50 percent in water heating costs but Harry does not like the tankless water heater due to the high cost of operation. The Construction Director sees a 4-foot high storage space as nearly useless and sees no need to pave a floor in the crawl space. The Construction Director will be discuss these proposals for reducing the height of the foundation walls further with Harry and also discuss the feasibility of installing the tankless water heater with the subcontractor plumber and electrician in the UT room, during our upcoming deployment. The number of onsite volunteers remains at 32. The Construction Director reserved 2 rooms at the Baymont Inn in Evansville, IN, for the mid-point stopover on 28 May 19.

Board’s opinion was that a need could exist and that it would be better to rent rather than buy an automatic external
defibrillator (AED) since it would be needed for only 2 weeks and there would no concerns about machine maintenance or battery replacement, in addition, when renting the AED, you would always be getting the latest technology.

With this payment arrangement, we should probably cut back to only offering a total of $300 in certificates for the raffle next year and some present were questioning whether Pizza Ranch is the best deal available. Therefore, during the next year, we should consider other possible sources for the raffle certificates including the Texas Roadhouse, suggested by our President.
