The following work will be done.
- Roof sweeping if it is dry.
- Cleaning of the gutters on the back of the woodshed and the cabin.
- Dealing with any wood and construction debris around caretakers; cutting it up and putting it in the dumpster.
- Moving all the bunks from the small side of Cascade dorm to the large side, and then remove and cut up the wood paneling in preparation for sheetrock installation. This will result in the creation of a small heated and insulated meeting space for Kitsap Branch use in the winter months! So this is a task we???re greatly interested in accomplishing.
Any and all help is gratefully accepted and much appreciated. As a token of their appreciation the Players have left us a freezer full of ice cream treats so join us Thursday June 22 for some fun, food and work.

Caretaker's Cabin Blitz - Day 4 and 5
|
|
Another beautiful morning writing in front of the campfire. It???s a little cooler this morning, but still comfortable with just a tee-shirt, jeans, and a hot cup of coffee. The weather report looks like there may be a little rain later today. It???s been a good run so far.
Things have slowed considerably on the volunteer front. It was just Mark and Jamie for most of days 4 and 5. Mary came by yesterday afternoon and started to put Toutle back together by replacing the stall doors and rehanging hooks. Mark and Jamie finished the sheetrock on the ceiling in the dormitory and hung new and improved lighting. Materials were also purchased for door and window casings. We are using 1 by x Fir to make simple casings. They are cheap, easy, and give the cabin a rustic country look. We can have volunteers sand and oil the material today.
We have more painting to do in the Caretaker's exterior and the aforementioned oiling. Also, there is a bunch of clean up from the weeks work. We could really use a bunch of people today. It's Saturday, after all. No day jobs to interfere. See you later.
