We finished putting up the new shingles on the bunk house roof and began with the new shingles on the barn roof, only about 10 more courses to go! This past week the temperatures climbed considerably from the nice cool 10,000 foot weather we're used to. Wow, talk about breaking a sweat up there on that roof. Hard work it is, but not without good fun to keep spirits high.
You'll also notice in the pictures here that we FINALLY got in all the logs that needed replacing- that goes for all three buildings. Remember, we've been at this for 5 weeks- logs are heavy and difficult, but we did it! (Well, Helaman did it really.)
It's nice to be done with the logs and now move on to other projects. Last week we had some fabulous volunteers that were very skilled and were able to work on the building of the new solar energy shed. They ran with it, and put up almost the entire thing in just a few days.
We also started putting in the floor in the soon to be bunk house. This was really exciting- a floor! To me that signals major progress. Before we lay the OSB boards over the floor joists we're power washing every inch of the bunk house and the barn. A little hot water and some bleach, and that rat nasty should give us no more problems. We also put bora-care in a few of the logs. This is a small piece of boron, which vermin and pests do not like. So long suckers!
We have LOTS more to do. But I must say that it raises my spirits to actually see things falling into place. It feels like we're really making a difference. And it will only get better from here!
