Friday, August 26, 2011

Coughlin Service's full roster of employees were called into action to protect Trinity College's 100 year old Chapel from Hurricane Irene that was forecasted to make a direct hit on Connecticut.  Team members completely covered all architectural woodwork from any of the torrential rains that may leak by the aging roof.  Another challenge that was was faced was how to cover the 45 foot high organ completely.  Yards and yards of plastic were laid out and attached delicately to the interior of the Chapel to catch any water that may of leaked in.
