The knock on the bathroom door

The Sanctuary as previously described is one large room with another door that you enter right from the Sanctuary. It has a wood etched sign on the door with the word Restroom written in green with little sprigs of ivy flowing down. When this was officially the United Methodist Church building, there was no secret about the fact that you needed to go to the restroom. You just got up and walked down the aisle and made a right turn and in you go. When finished out the door you came and made a left turn and returned to your seat and the choir kept singing or the pastor kept preaching.

Also through that same door, after you entered the restroom you took a right and you were in the bell tower and then another door out of the bell tower took you outside. So not everyone was sure exactly where you were going when you went through that door, but if the bell didn't ring, then they were pretty sure it was nature calling.

Anyway, since our move into the Church House, we have added a shower where the bell tower was located. (When the building was sold, the members removed the bell and it now rest in the Oak Creek Historical Museum in town along with the communion table, the Bible, the pastors podium and pictures of the inside of the building with the pews.)

The bell tower is still a part of the building , but now there is a shower.

So as you go through the door to the left is the commode and to the right a shower; so what could we do to get to the outside? We added a door. When you enter from the south side you pass the commode on your right and the shower on your left.

In june 2009 we had a leak in our outside water pipe. Ed , a local man from Oak Creek who also was married in the church building, helped us out. He had the machinery and began to dig the holes.

He was outside working and I was inside. Then there was a knock on the bathroom door and I opened the door and Ed said, "Emily , we have a problem." It seems we had to now move the propane fuel lines to get to the water lines; so we called the propane company.

Later, I was inside and Ed was working outside and then, there was a knock on the bathroom door and Ed said,"Emily, we have a problem." We had to move the propane tank so that Ed could maneuver his equipment to get 8 or so feet down to the water line..

VP Propand came to move the tank with a lift, but something was wrong with their machine so they had to drag the tank to a new place.
