The lodge has been started

The lodge has been started and it is coming along as quickly as the cabins! The propane tanks and electricity were taken out this week making room for the grading to start. Several trees have been removed from the sides of the lodge for the building to expand onto. The front porch is starting to disappear also. The graders are working on leveling it out from the lodge to the parking lot where the old staff house stood. It is a bit muddy but looking good.

The cabins are also coming along. The ply wood is going up on the second cabin to cover the framing and now you can see the actually shape or footprint of the cabins. They are looking great!

They also started the work we have to have done on the Mountain View Lodge (formerly the Staff House). It has to have some dry wall work done for fire codes. They brought in massive sheets of dry wall yesterday and had to use a boom to lift them up and over the railing to the main floor. It was interesting to see!

Walls go up, walls come down...

This week we have had lots of progress on the cabins. We have one getting the new porch roof put on and the other getting plywood walls put on. They are already looking so much better. They are starting to look like the designs and I think everyone is going to be very impressed with them.

The demo has started on the lodge. The Maggie room is now a thing of the past..sniff, sniff! They have already gutted the wing with our offices and are going to start demo on that soon. They are waiting on the gas tanks to be removed (Wed) to start the grading and demo. The one and only bathroom in the building now has a "view" and will probalby be gone this week!
