September 8 -17 Assignment Completed!

(l-r) Jerry Polizzi, Charlie Bradley, Eric Hurley, Angie & Bob Neuenschwander, Gina Draper, Clair Denlinger, Austin Rohrer & Tom Denlinger

In June, “House Team 1” built a needed addition and stripped out the upstairs ceilings and old insulation. “House Team 2” followed up two weeks later and removed all the trees around the house, installed a new electric service, a new propane gas line, and a underground french drain that carries surface water back into the woods to a pit. This final team prepared our Base Director’s House for winter by working on building skirting around the building as well as doing some dirt work to fill in the landscape around the house. The goal was to raise the grade close to the house and encourage water to flow away from the building.  Take time to view these photos …
