Once the roof is repaired, we will need to replace two sash windows, as well as carry out electrical repairs and paint.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Jacobs, the estimated budget is about R220 000. \u201cThe pervasive damp has left its mark necessitating comprehensive damp proofing. The \u2018stoep\u2019, a cozy outdoor refuge, must be renewed, and the jo-jo water tank awaits removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe courtyard, a communal canvas, will see its surface transformed to guide the rainwater away, safeguarding the house\u2019s foundation. The walls inside and out are prepared for a fresh coat of paint, to breathe new life into Pothier House.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacobs said repairs will take some time to complete. \u201cAs winter\u2019s chill approaches, we extend a heartfelt appeal to you, our community. Your support can help us make Pothier House water-tight and preserve its allure for generations to come. We also seek your generosity in providing meals for our 10 residents during their temporary relocation, ensuring they have a warm plate as they await their return to their beloved home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She appealed to people to support them. \u201cJoin us in this noble cause. Your contributions, no matter the size, will be a beacon of hope for Pothier House and its residents. Together let\u2019s restore the charm and dignity of this Victorian treasure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To donate visit www.noah.org.za or call 021 447
