Summer Progress-part 2

Our big project is our Main Lodge...thinking of calling the the Chestnut Lodge once we re-open it. It would give us an opportunity to use Chestnut from the "Wormy Chestnut" in the Lounge side but not have wormy in there. There has been alot of progress over the summer. They have the supports for the new wrap around porch done. It is huge! And it is going to be great. The front entrance now has double doors and the gable is twice the size. The porch will wrap around the building to the right and go to another deck in the back right corner leading up to the Rec Hall.





The siding is going up right now. They are using a "concrete" siding so that it will not deteriorate over time. It will be stained the same color as before so that it matches the cabins also.






The roofing is going on right now too. It is a metal roof in a champagne color. They voted me out of the green roof and I agree that it will accent the trees and make it cooler in the summer. It is the same color as the trim on the building, as well as, the trim on the new cabins and the benches on the existing cabins.






The interior of the lodge is taking shape also. I can see where everything is going to go and how it is going to come together once done. The kitchen is huge! and it is switched from before so that the cooking side is on the left and the cleaning side is on the right. We are gaining 2 large bathrooms and the offices we have decided will become the camp store. We think it will be a good place to offer cantina every day, it will also be in a good location to have it open during some events for people to purchase shirts, coffee mugs, snacks, etc during their event.
