VALLEY HEAD, Ala. (WHNT) DeKalb County school officialssay theyplan to completely address the mold and structural issues at Valley Head School in the summer.

DeKalb County Superintendent Hugh Taylor says he became aware of mold issues at Valley Head School in November.

Since then school officials say theyve been working to treat it.

Assistant Superintendent Brian Thomas says initially the plan was to treat the mold during spring break.After discussing with our maintenence supervisor and other state organizations we decided the best idea at this point was to put off all the mold remediation and all the structural updates that we would like to do for summer, Thomas says.

Thomas says theyll have more time to completely address all of the issues and fully remedy them during that time. There are also plans to update the school over that time frame as well.

Until then though, students are out of the main building and are doubled up inrooms that are mold-free. So were going to bring in portable classrooms so the students have a place to have class, and theres not going to be crowding issues, Thomas says.

School officials are working to decide whether they want to buy or rent those portables and they say both options have their benefits.

The mold was found to be not harmful and officials say it isnt airborne. The school was recently tested for asbestos and those results came back negative.

The weather is finally getting warm -- but not too warm -- and the nights are still cool -- but not too cool -- making it perfect porch weather. On Sunday, I dragged my laptop to my front porch, poured an iced tea and started compiling my tax return, proving that sunshine and fresh air can make any task less torturous.

The porch is an essential living space in that blissful period before the onslaught of air-conditioned hibernation and after the emergence from winter's heated cocoon.

The words porch, veranda and gallery are often used interchangeably. But there are slight differences.

M. Gerwing Architects, a design firm in Boulder, Colo., has a helpful guide on its website, explaining the nuances of porches, verandas, patios, terraces and balconies.

The difference between a veranda and porch -- veranda is a roofed porch, while a porch is "attached to the house, covered or open, can be enclosed" -- seems to be splitting hairs.

A gallery is similar to a balcony but is supported by posts or columns from the ground.

For a little visual inspiration, click through the slide show above for some beautiful porches (verandas, galleries) from our photo archive.

The interior of O'Neills pub in a former Presbyterian church in Muswell Hill, north London. Thanks to a steady decline in religion and the high costs of maintaining these historic buildings, a rising number of churches are being given new lives that may have horrified their founders. AFP pic, April 1, 2014.At one church, the only thing being worshipped is beer at another, gleaming cars are on sale. Increasingly, it seems, a different kind of conversion is taking place at some of Britain's churches.

Thanks to a steady decline in religion and the high costs of maintaining these historic buildings, a rising number of churches are being given new lives that may have horrified their founders.

Behind the imposing red-brick facade of one Presbyterian church in north London's upmarket Muswell Hill district, throbbing pop music and barrels of Guinness are the first clues that there's a new congregation.

The soaring Gothic arches remain but instead of an altar there's a huge bar, while tables, stools and slot-machines stand in place of the pews. Built in 1902, the church's beautiful exterior remains unchanged. Inside, it's an Irish pub.

"If it was a church, there would be only two or three people here but on Fridays and Saturdays, it's packed," said John Earl, a construction worker, as he nursed a pint.

"It is weird," he admitted. "I feel I kind of have to respect it. I don't mind being drunk here, but I don't want people carving the pillars."

At another table, 33-year-old Yamini pronounced the pub "beautiful".

"It has a different look from the other pubs," she said as she sipped red wine with a friend. "And it's being used instead of being abandoned."

Religious worship has been declining in Britain for years, and church authorities are increasingly forced to rethink the management of their huge and very expensive estates.

Desks inside the former United Methodist Episcopal Church, which was founded in 1886 and now serves as an office building for the Savoy Public Works Department.

SAVOY A prominent piece of Savoy's history may soon be up for grabs.

On the north side of Church Street, in the part of town locals affectionately refer to as "old town," stands the former United Methodist Episcopal Church. The building currently serves as offices for the Savoy Public Works Department but will soon no longer be needed as the village pursues a redevelopment of the area.

The building at 114 W. Church St. is actually the second Savoy Methodist Episcopal Church at the location.

In 1886, a building committee from the Methodist congregation was formed with the intention of constructing a church building on the property, which committee president J.H. Dunlap donated for that purpose. The building was blown down once during construction, but was completed and dedicated on Jan. 9, 1887.

On Feb. 10, 1895, fire destroyed both the church and the parsonage. Just seven months later, the new church building the one that still there today was completed.

By 1970, the Methodist community had grown to 179 members, and a new church building was constructed on Graham Drive. The name was changed to the Savoy United Methodist Church. A year later, the original church building was sold to the village of Savoy for $12,500.

The building was used as the Savoy Village Hall from 1971-2004, when the new Savoy Municipal Center at 611 N. Dunlap was completed. After that, the former church building was converted to the offices for the village's public works department.

Now, a new public works building is being constructed just west of the Savoy Municipal Center. Once the building is complete, all public works offices will be transferred there, and the former church will be left vacant.

Falls Road Baptist Church broke ground March 9 for a sanctuary and classroom building on its new campus at 3144 Benvenue Road.

Construction likely will begin in early April, Larry Todd, the churchs secretary, said in a telephone interview Tuesday. The project will move quickly.

Were the trusting the Lord for the first of October, he said of the projected completion date.

The sanctuary will seat about 200 people, the Rev. Steven Harduk, Falls Roads pastor, said Wednesday in a telephone interview. The other building will have six classrooms, a nursery and an office.

Together, they will have about 12,000 square feet of space and cost more than $1 million, Harduk said.

At the groundbreaking, Harduk gave a devotional from the book of Nehemiah and offered a prayer of thanksgiving and dedication for the building and Gods blessing on the churchs ministry, a release says. Members of the board of deacons also spoke on how they envisioned God would use the building and property in the coming years.

The new campus, which is on the north side of Benvenue Road just west of Thomas A. Betts Parkway, offers the congregation room for expansion.

As we get this completed, hopefully if the ministry grows, we certainly have ample room for expansion, Todd said. We have over 40 acres of property out there.

Said Harduk: As the Lord would provide and bless, there are plans for additional classrooms and a family life center that would include a gymnasium. ... Thats something well just have to wait upon the Lord (for).

Mike Marguerat of Landmark Construction also gave a presentation at the groundbreaking on the appearance and layout of the building, the release says. Floor plans also are on display in Falls Roads current sanctuary at 734 Falls Road.
