The bid submitted by the first contractor mentioned in the previous post estimated that stabilizing the house will take approx. two (2) months of construction labor at 40 hours/week with labor costs of $11,500. The materials and equipment costs were estimated to be $10,000, for a total estimate of $21,500. The scope of work includes shoring up, chinking and roofing. The other contractor contacted reported he would be unable to start work on the property for at least 1 1/2 months. The committee approved the first contractor's bid and directed that photographs be taken to document the progress of all site work. They also directed that a sign be erected on the site to educate the public re: the restoration effort occurring there.

The committee also discussed what public activities to have at Fairview during Spring and Fall 2010. Activites mentioned for Spring 2010 included live music performances.
