Just a Beautiful Day

The crew started putting the roof on last Wednesday, and, here they are just a few days later almost done with the north side as well. It was a nice day so I walked up the trail to get a couple of pictures from that vantage point. After they have finished the roofing, we will be working to install doors and windows with the siding. They do still have to put the roof on the storage area, the south entrance, and the west entrance.

Once the siding is completed then it is going to come back to us to do all the finishing work inside the building. We are looking forward to severak work parties coming up this spring to give a big boost to the project.

Covering Up

It has been kind of a wild week for the weather. We flirted with snow. A high wind warning was issued. But, looking back it has actually been a rather mild week as the crew started to put the roof on. As of today they are a little over halfway down the south side. The other development this weekend was picking up most of the windows for the building. A friend of the Camp helped us get these windows -- so Thanks! We are looking forward to some work parties coming in March and April as the contracted workers will be pretty much done in March.

There have been so many folks praying and giving and working, devoting themselves to finishing this project. As registrations are starting to come in for the summer events we are looking forward to how God continues to be our hope and strength in this ministry.

Not Really a Slow Week in February

The weather has been rather unsettled the last two days. Snow, then rain, then sunshine -- then a little bit of all three with the wind thrown in as well. Not quite so dramatic changes in the last few days. The construction crew is putting the final touches on that prepares the structure for receiving the roof. The plan today is start putting the roofing panels on on Thursday. They say the only weather problem will be if the wind is blowing. So that is our prayer and hope is for mild days coming up once this predicted storm blows through.

Thanks for your prayers and encouragement in the building process. You might already know this, but for your information if you click on the pictures they pop up full size.

Another Beautiful Day at the Beach

We really have been blessed with some beautiful and calm weather while the steel pieces are being put together. Now they are working on purlins and girts. The plan is to start putting the roof on next week. Doors and windows have been ordered which need to be installed with the siding.

An overall view, you can see the frame of the storeroom to the north and the entryway on the west. The entry doors will be on the north and south of that extension with windows filling up most of the west facing part of the entry way.
