The last 10 days



Remember the sprinkler tank? It's insulated home is coming along slowly. Much of the insulation is in place now, so Liseli brought forth the plywood! She set up a workspace just outside.



Thanks to Bill Monteverdi for coming over this weekend and helping put the plywood in place. Here's Bill balancing on top of the tank. And yes, it was cold outside.

By this morning, they had the plywood on the east side done and much of the "front" wall. You can see some of the insulation above the tank.



Meanwhile, more work was happening inside the ACC. Rick Townsend has been sanding and touching up the walls in the bedrooms as well as getting the trim sanded, primed and painted.

Chris Koster, known for her yummy bread (she's one of our cooks), came over last weekend and applied a coat of polyurethane to the trim in the upstairs hallway. The wood is so lovely. Thanks, Chris.



Rick, a professional painter, cutting in the orange. He makes it look so easy! Thanks, Rick. As you know, we have wonderful volunteers who come and work a few hours or a few days as their schedules allow.

Stay tuned ... the spring work weekend is coming up in April and that's the time for the siding if it's not snowing.
