cabins, cabins, cabins: insulation and interior walls
The cabins are progressing nicely, guys! As you may recall, we're working on two of the new cabins right now. We're still on track to have them finished by Christmas time. Wouldn't that be amazing?
Today, I'm going to show you pictures (by Colter) of the insides of cabin 1. The insulation went in a bit ago, then Dave, Ken and Emily painted the ceilings. Now Robert and Colter are finishing up on the tongue-in-groove inside walls. It looks amazing! (And amazing is our word of the day.) With all that insulation and thick, sealed, insulated floors without cracks or crevices or peepholes to the dirt beneath the cabin ... man, these are going to be cozy cabins!
INSULATE!
The walls are in, around the sleeping area. That doorway on the left of the picture is a sliding door that locks in an open or closed position (as in, the maintenance crew will have keys, but kids, cabin leaders and guests won't be able to open or close the door), making the cabin more flexible for use in summer, or by guests or families.
The big opening, through which you can see the framed but not finished wall, is the sliding door again from a different angle. The white door leads to the outdoors. This picture is taken from the back corner of the sleeping area.
Walls in, lights on seating area (with benches yet-to-be-built):
And, bonus, the new cabins mean the old cabins are starting to move. Cabin 13 is, for now, holding building supplies. Jasper and Emily took down the bunks the week before last and the cabin has been shifted some what. Ultimately, it's going to be torn down (it's one of the ones that is in REALLY REALLY bad shape).
Change is afoot! Good change! Yeah!
We'd like to invite you to partner with us in this cabin building project: each cabin costs about $50,000 and in order to get going on the next two cabins, we're going to need your financial support. Our plan is to build 12 cabins in total, to replace the 16 cabins we're currently using. Please contact the camp at director@camp-evergreen.com or 403-638-4230 if you'd like more information about the Cabin Fever! project or if you'd like to donate! Remember that your donations are tax receipt-able, because Camp Evergreen is a registered not-for-profit organization.
