What Makes this Post Unique
We have remodeled our post home bringing it into the computer age. We can now remotely control our heating, air conditioning, lawn irrigation, lighting, using the internet. We also have remote viewing of our security cameras giving us real time access to who is in the building. All lighting in our building has been upgraded to LED giving us a savings on our electric cost. The siding on our building was changed to a vinyl cedar shingle which closely resembled the original wood siding which was in poor condition. Our walls were insulated, replacement windows installed, Central Air conditioning was added, and heating system replaced with an efficient gas boiler. Our bathrooms on the main floor were remodeled giving full handicap access. A handicap ramp was added for access to the main floor. We are looking to someday add a handicap lift allowing access to the lower hall and member room, as well as remodeling bathrooms on the lower floor to allow for handicap access.
