Finishing Up For the Winter

Kitchen/Dining Room

The steel frame for the new reload shack is up.  In the spring,
the frame will be wrapped with wood siding.

A Floor, Walls and a Roof!

Lots has changed in the last two weeks check it out. The floor was poured, the walls were framed in and the roof is going on!

This is taken from the corner closest to the laundry room.
The serving line for the camper dining hall is visible in the far shadows.

With snow on the ground, crews are in a hurry to get the roof on and
the walls all sealed up so they can have a little heat while they work inside...

Foundation Continued

This is the last corner of the foundation.
The freezers will be on this side. 

The Sawmill Cabin Interior is Coming Along

CD Quarters

Front Room

Kitchen/Dining Room

Back

The front porch has lots of space!

Stemwall Pour

Adding short pieces of rebar to attach the walls to.

The wand that the man on the right is holding vibrates
and settles any air bubbles out of the concrete.

The electricians were here today laying out the conduit
that will be inside the concrete floor.

Each one of these fresh squares of concrete is several
feet deep.  The four pads will each support a vertical steel beam.

The forms are ready!

 The 4 walls of the kitchen foundation will be poured this afternoon. 

The floor will be poured after the walls an roof are constructed.

First Concrete Pour

Today the footing was poured for the new kitchen.

To make the day a little more interesting, we had
60MPH winds and a power outage.  

The roof is on!

The roof and doors are up.

The interior is still fairly open.

Doors and more!

New Cimarroncito Shower-house

The new shower-house at Cimarroncito will have 16 individual locking shower units.

The new shower-house will have an individual unit with an
exterior locking door for each shower.

The foundation slopes to a trough in the center
the trough slopes to one end of the building and
feeds a drainage pipe.

The interior and exterior walls are made of sheet-metal. 

Sawmill Porch & Tent Platforms

The new porch is huge!

New staff tent platforms.

Most of the roof is complete over the porch.

Rebar

Tying rebar in preparation for next week's
concrete pour.

It will take about 8 sections of rebar similar to this one to
complete the concrete footing walls.

Inside, electricians are working on stripping the old electrical
to make room for new, smaller and more energy efficient lights.

Soon the painters will arrive to paint the ceiling black.
The rafters will remain exposed once the remodel is complete.
Acoustic tiles will however be placed between the rafters to help
reduce the volume in the room.

Sawmill Cabin - Making Progress

New porch!

The siding is going on the backside of the cabin

A new floor is being constructed inside.
