A Message from the Project Manager:
"We are working on
several major projects. First, the lower utility level needs to be
insulated, then sheeted with OSB plywood type material - and finally
have shelving built. Most anyone can insulate, moderate woodworking
skills are needed to install osb and build shelving. Upstairs we can
use woodworkers who can install the 6,000 square feet of pine paneling
on walls and ceilings. We will also be "painting" the inside of the
exterior walls with a synthetic plaster type material. In short, lot's
happening and we need help. The trail is still good, slippery to be sure
(shoe creepers are good or just solid tread on your hiking boots) but
no need for skis or snowshoes. Check Facebook for closures, but we
should be working seven days a week. A few volunteers have been sleeping
in the cabin - we have heat and a working toilet, but no cooking or
water facilities yet. I hope to see you on site!!"
