Winter Needs to Back Off

Now that we've been working on the Bath House on the West Side for a couple weeks we're doing less demolition inside and more cutting outside.  The problem with that is when we get 8 inches of snow overnight.  Takes away some of the comfort and space I like when I'm ripping down a long piece of glass board.  Another frustrating thing is that we have to rip down the glass board into thin slices.  The Bath House had a lot of exposed pipes that we've boxed in with glass board.  It's great that we've enclosed them because they were smoking hot heating pipes, but it's really hard to install glass board on this tiny little box.  So all that to say that we didn't make much visual progress on the project, but it's still hard stuff that needs to be completed.  Now we're ready for the next section, and usually these keep going faster and faster as we get more experience with them.

So after we cleaned up a lot of wet, heavy snow our main focus shifted back to the Bath House.  Dan Haines continues to work hard on the tile in Crosscut.  I think he can see the light at the end of the tunnel for his tile work down there.  He still has to work on a little bit of tile in the Bath House and more in the East Side Dining Hall Staff Room.  Oh... and then there is the rest of the stone for the outside of Crosscut.  Well that's all part of our plan to keep him working tiling/masonry for a solid year of camp.  Just kidding.  But seriously, we'll see if he gets to work on something else.

This weekend I headed home for an Alumni swim meet at Battle Creek Central's new pool.  I really enjoyed seeing a lot of familiar faces and catching up with people from high school.  Without training I still swim about what I did in high school, but I may try to work out a little for the next alumni meet on Thanksgiving weekend.  In the meantime it was just fun to see the graduates from the 80's and the 90's smoke everyone else.

So here's hoping we don't get anymore snow.  Especially on a weekend of raking like last year.  Thanks for following.
