More Pictures of the progress:
Pour day - We missed this unfortunately, but Karl Grefsrud and his strapping young sons did a fantastic job of prepping, forming, pouring and finishing the concrete walls. Many thanks to them for all their work! We are hoping we recruited a few more members!! Thanks too to Peter and Pat Masley for being available when we couldnt be there. Their return to MN timing couldnt have been better!!
Remove the forms day
This is something not seen often in the wild, out in the open. A very RARE glimpse of Peter sitting down. Ya! I know. I didn't realize he could do that either. I jest, but Peter is one of the reasons we get so much done when he puts our minds to it! He keeps us from just going back to the camper and lighting a fire. You all know what I mean!
Down in the corner is Pat's finger. That reminds me to THANK her for all the fantastic pictures (especially this uncommon one!) you rock, Pat. And if I do say, you have a very attractive finger....
Picture after waterproofing and foam and drain tile
Dan loves the Cadillac. He's the king of getting around in that tight space. One would think it would be VERY easy to slip up and bump the walls. Promise, that didnt happen. If I didnt get a picture of it, it didnt happen.
Peter sent me these pictures of them building the rafters. Thanks to Peter, Merlyn, Kerry and Howie for helping with this task. We were sorry to miss this too (darn work and home stuff really gets in the way of the fun stuff!).
Howie is rockin' wood cutter (yes, that is the technical term).
Hey! that looks like a rafter! Fantastic!
Some final words on this project so far. I have to send out many thank you's to all involved. I wish I could remember EVERYONE that has had a hand in this progress, but you all know who you are. This project has been a fantastic feat of teamwork. Many thanks across the grounds for the help, guidance and support. It's going to be a handsome exhibit. More to come!
