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

    Great progress Nathaniel. I am hearing great things about your progress and positive attitude. Take advantage of Will when he stops by as he has considerable construction knowledge! Great project!

Day 20

Today we showed up at the ski area to find the boards applied urethane on the day prior to be dry. This means that we were able to get an another coat on them and put up three more strips in the morning. We then went to lunch and when we got back we put up the remaining strips. This signifies our last day down at the ski area. I will miss doing this every day. Hours: 6:00 Total: 73:30 Midway! All Done!

Day 3

Today we showed up to an already half done insulation job. Adam had started earlier so by the time we got out which was 8:10, half was already done. Due to that we were able to complete the job in one day. The job was straight forward but tedious to string the insulation under all the strapping and to do this we had to where full body suits due to the hazards of fiberglass. However, we finished in just 3 hours which was quite fast. As I said yesterday this was planned to take 2 days or more. It was a fun day and tomorrow we will begin on varnishing boards. Hours:3:00 Insulation in.  All suited up.  Other half done.

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!
