July 16 2011


These can light trims were painted last week to match the ceiling

This Saturday we only had 15 workers present, but still accomplished much!

Boys side drain field was completed, inspected and backfilled. Final grading was also completed on the boys drain field and is ready for planting native ground cover.

The banker requested to come up to see how the project was going; she was very excited and impressed and had nothing but compliments to say about the camp.



And then, of course, we had a little lunch:

We have a need for many workers for each weekend for the rest of the summer; we need to work on the following:
Build rock retaining wall on the East side of the Main Lodge.
Continue building the pull out on the road from the Caretakers Cabin to the Main Lodge and move the material for fill to the west side of the lodge.
Need carpenters next weekend to expand the equipment room for the water filtration system.
Need electricians for wiring the boys and the girls saunas.
Continue working on the pathways and spreading gravel on all the pathways.
Continue drilling and installing rebar on the steps (approx 50% complete).
Spread and pack gravel on the maintenance walkway that was graded out last weekend.
Continue general cleanup of the construction materials.
The steps from the main lodge to the outdoor amphitheater needs to be completed.
The sauna framing and sheeting on the girls side needs to be finished.
Boys and girls saunas need wiring and exterior siding installed as well as the sheet metal roof.
The youth have volunteered to build the outdoor amphitheater using logs and material from the property. Steve Wuollet will coordinate this project.
