The end on week one at Indian Hills Camp

We have completed our first week at Indian Hills Camp and it has been a chilly one.  This morning we awoke to a frosty 33 degrees.  But the work has been good and it doesn't usually take very long before one must take off the jacket while working.  Remember the first construction project.  Well our planning was a little suspect.

You see, there was a large eucalyptus tree beside the shed and it needed to be removed.  Well in the process a couple pieces of the tree, which was probably 60 feet tall, fell on the roof of the shed.  I think this is what they call job security.

Moving on.  The camp wanted a new garbage can holder next to the restrooms.  Plant some posts, frame up some 2 X 4's, add some siding and paint......

and there we have it, a three holer, two holes for garbage, and one small one for recycling.

Our ladies have been busy as well.  They have painted the main office and the restroom where we built the new garbage can holders.  On the east end of the restrooms, last months Sowers built a room for a laundry facility and they painted that too.  Well it didn't move!

The painting wasn't so much painting as it was cutting.

Some of the other things we did this week was to clean up the roof line of two cages.  This one is the chicken cage.  The roofs had overhangs which were nothing but head knockers and the roofing was deteriorating.  We trimmed off the head knockers and the rotting sheeting, added a 2X8 fascia and roofing drip lip then paint.

The same was done on the pigeon cage.

This is the goat and sheep barn.  Last week it looked like the leaning tower of Pizza.  Now it is straight, reroofed, painted and last but not least, thoroughly inspected by our Quality Control expert.

Besides, we had to do a good job!  we were being carefully watched by the next door neighbors.

This morning we awoke to 33 degrees.  Even the crows were afraid to fly for fear of freezing their wings.  God is still here even with the crows.
