Day 13

Today was another productive day down at the ski area. We showed up in the morning to find that the road had become flooded over the weekend. We had to hike into the lodge the back way. Once there the first thing to do today was to sand the second half that had joint compound on it. Once that was done was brushed off the dust and begun painting. We got the first coat on and broke for lunch. Once back we began on the second coat and completed it by the end of the day. Tomorrow we will begin on trim.
Hours: 5:00
Total: 55:00
All sanded!

First coat of paint!

Final coat!

Day 1

The moment we rolled into the ski area to begin our day I had no idea what lied ahead. The day started with removing the old lighting fixtures that were down there. However, we made quite short work of that and moved on to putting up strapping. Soon a delivery arrived that we unloaded. But we were soon back on track. At about 12 we broke for lunch. After lunch work started up again. We helped Mike (the school's electrition) rough in the electrical. Day one was a success. Hours: 5:10 Kevin Removing Wiring.  The before shot. Kevin and Adam putting up strapping.  The strapping and wiring in on one-half.  

Day 10

When we showed up today the project was looking really good with all the lights cut out. I began by applying joint compound (mud) the second half of the ceiling while Kevin sanded. We also cleaned up the work space. Then Garry came by and told us to clean the surrounding walls to get the room ready to begin paint. We did that and then broke for lunch. After lunch, we continued to clean and prep for paint. We also cleaned the shop floor of urethane. Today was a good day. Hours: 5:30 Total: 44:00 Second half with joint compound! The first half sanded! The first half when we left!

Day 5

Today when we showed up we began by sanding the boards that had urethane on them from the day prior. After that we began to apply the third coat of urethane. While waiting for them to dry we did other work around the ski area like filling in some damage from the winter. After that we broke for lunch. After lunch we put on yet another layer of urethane to make sure it was fully covered after this morning.  Tomorrow we will begin the same way with sanding because we need to make sure that the boards are really smooth and ready for a final coat. Hours: 5:00  Total: 22:50 Filling holes. Boards after urethane and sanding.
