Progress on Multiple Fronts

We’re making progress on multiple fronts as we head towards Christmas.  Here is an update.  

       

Inside the chapel the insulators have finished which allowed the Sheetrockers to come in and hang the board.  Both the Sanctuary and Fireside levels are completely sheetrocked.  We are in the process of taping and mudding the joints. 

Outside the chapel the siding is being installed.  The framers continue to work on the back patio.  And the excavators are building a rock wall which will be 13’ feet high in some places, that will outline our parking lot. 

As we head towards Christmas we at Dooley Lodges have plenty to be thankful for and we wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Goin' Like Gang Busters

We're going like gang busters now that we've completed the "rough in"......



The framers have returned and are working on the front entrance and the back patio.  The front porch will be framed with 12”x12” Douglas Fir rough timber beams sanded and stained.  The picture on the right was taken from the deck of the back porch. It takes our breath away every time Wendie and I see the deer.  I think they are getting used to their new surroundings.

We have been blessed with good weather so far.  This has allowed Wendie to lay out some of the rock walls, planters and meandering side walks that will take our guests from the Sanctuary Level to the Fireside level.  

   

The insulators are insulating and the sheet rockers are hanging rock.  Our goal is to have the taping and mudding done before Christmas.  The fireplace has also been installed on the fireside level.  Painting is not too far off so Wendie is pouring through color charts as we speak.  More to come with the next update (Blog).
