Progress Update #10

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

The crew has been hard at work setting beams and framing walls. On Wednesday, they will be bringing in a crane to set the rest of the beams for the floor. Doug Walker and crew have been working on nailing 425 joist hangers in preparation for the beams. The building is starting to take shape with the continued framing of the basement exterior walls.

This is the last week of camp for the summer at Firwood and will mark the last time that campers use the Longhouse for meals [Guest Groups in the fall will continue to use the facility]. Share a favorite memory of the Longhouse on Facebook.

The crew has started the framing stage of the Centerhouse. They have started with one of the side walls in the basement as well as the glue-lams in the upper section. The support beams require nailing in lots of joist hangers which Doug Walker and his two assistants, Robb Watson and Landon Block, were helping to secure today. Check out the video and photo gallery below.

Progress Update #7

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Progress continues on the foundation for the Centerhouse. The walls have been poured along with the concrete slab in the basement. The crew, along side the help of some volunteers, is working on putting up a waterproof membrane and back filling the foundation. They are also working on digging out for the footing for the wall that will go behind the kitchen. Early August should bring the start of framing.

With the footings finished, the crew has been working on forming up the walls of the building the past couple of days. The plan is to hopefully start pouring concrete in the forms early to mid next week. It is exciting to start seeing some elevation in the site.

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Concrete has been poured! Yesterday the crew poured the concrete for the footings of all the exterior walls. The next step is to strip all of the forms and start forming the walls so that they can be poured. Camp has started and generated a lot of interest from campers and parents alike. Please continue to pray for safety on the site as the work keeps chugging along. Check out this time lapse video of the past week or so of work on the project.
