There have been commits that if New Hope School had gutters this would not have happened. If you will notice the tree in this photo, it is huge and many leaves are on the deck and also woods are 20 foot over from the school, gutters would not have help but an awning would have and was not put on when the school was being restored but should have been. We plan to put an awning at the back when the repairs are done, which was included in the grant that was written. Any responsible contractor would know to use flashing and treated lumber, and if he told the person or persons responsible it's on them. If this had been done correctly in the beginning, we would not be doing this now.

The photos here are of New Hope School. Due to improper construction and management the deck was made out of untreated lumber, as you can see it is rotten and must be replaced. After tearing the deck down, it was discovered the plywood was used from the deck down with no flashing and has rotted beyond repair, so all this has to be torn out and replaced.

We have applied for grants for the repairs to the deck with treated lumber and hopefully will receive them, but only one small grant has come through for $2500.00. That still leaves $8500.00 for the deck only. As I stated we are trying for a grant for this but have not received it yet. The grant application did not include the extra expense to replace the plywood with shiplap and flashing. All of this should have been done to begin with. The school has not been open to the public for over 18 months due to this hazard, and we hope to get it corrected.

Therefore, the Cross County Historical Society is asking for any donations to help with the New Hope School. Your donations are tax deductible and of course are appreciated. Make checks to New Hope School, PO Box 943, Wynne, AR 72396.
