Carriage House Update

The heat is on in the Carriage House! Hallelujah!! Bryan's Fuels along with EJ Walsh have hooked up the modern and very efficient boiler that heats the upper and lower levels with the in floor heating system.
Sean Coll and his crew have finished the drywall, priming and first coat of paint on the lower level walls and some of the ceilings...it looks really good! The stairs have been installed between the two levels.
The stairs, porches and entrances on the north and south ends are operational and looking really good. These are made with lumber from Terry Kell's property and finished under John Hayward's expertise and direction.
Jeff Schneyderberg and Darryl Schenk have worked long and hard to mill, sand, stain and spray all the trim that is scheduled to be installed by Dave Black this week.
All available staff hands were on deck to experience the raising of the first "beam" in The Great Room. This was orchestrated by John Hayward.
Mike Markquardt who comes all the way from Michigan, is coming to build the fireplace inside The Great Room. God bless you Mike!
In the near future we are looking forward to the return of our dear Irene Dunn from Australia. She is a master hand for tiling.
We are getting there. By God's grace, The Carriage House will be completed and fully operational. Bunkhouses 3 through 4b will be history!! Glory to God!!

Nico Koeslag is always friendly, supportive and smiling...and also happens to have been responsible for building Maintenance here at the Ranch since 2003. Thanks for all you do Nico!
