Cherry Wood partitions, hand rails & snow

Work has slowed down for us and the ACC. The highlights for weeks 33 & 34 were the addition of the cherry wood partitions in the bathrooms. Like much of the trim, the wood was from the Powell House property, having been cut & milled over 4 years ago. CNS made the partitions. This is the view in the bigger bathroom upstairs.



This is in the larger bathroom downstairs in the new wing.



The wooden railing was replaced with the permanent one.



Now, we just need the carpet!



The snow continues to fall here at Powell House. It's a winter wonderland, indeed.

Sun Tunnels and

We're not finished but getting closer. Here you can see a sun tunnel sprouting from the ceiling in the upstairs hallway. What a help! We all need more Light, right?



Drywall dust raining down.



Putting in the tunnel hardware.



The hallway in the daytime. Isn't it great? All that Light ....



We've also been moving mattresses and beds around, working on the final configuration in the new rooms. Here's Jen Gorman with some expert help.



More expert help going down the stairs.



The corner room downstairs with some of those mattresses!



Chris has gotten more tiling done in the downstairs little bathroom. There;s another wall to do.




A view from the sun porch. It's a great place to hang out ... the floor is nice and warm and the sunlight wonderful.

3,000 gallon water tank installed

Waiting concrete floor in the right side of the tractor shed.



The tank arrived early in the morning.



Then the fun began.



There was lots of maneuvering, using fulcrums, wedges, a handy front loader.



The tank in its new home. We'll be insulating the room before the water is piped in for the sprinkler system.



Remember that diesel tank we thought was big?: It's all about perspective.
