The Last Full Week

Bringing EBC to a close on out last full week of the project.

We've brought the whole team together this week to finish the handicap ramp. Monday and Tuesday were off to a vigorous start, with part of the group working to build the landing and others putting on the finishing touches. The ramp itself is complete with the railings secured and everything. It is looking fantastic! The landing is almost complete, the hole has been dug to the right size and the box fits inside of it. All that's left is to make sure it's level and square, along with filling it in with sand and bricks. The ramp is looking great! With only a few days left it is looking as though this will be finished just in time.

A couple weeks of hard work


Sorry we haven't updated in a while, it has been a truly busy couple of weeks over at the camps. I'm going to make a crazy list about everything that got done last week and the remaining that got done the week before that.
- The sub floors were finished in the duplex bathrooms
- We put in the floor over the sub floor in the bathrooms
- The bedroom walls were sanded and varnished on the right side of the Duplex
- The big room in the right side of the duplex has also been sanded and varnished
- Painted the ceilings
- New linoleum tile was put down in both bedrooms
- The Nashoba Tech electrical kids came and played with some electricity
- The handicap ramp was nearly complete, it needs the landing at the top and bottom done.
- The new roof on the batcave has been completed.
- The water in the pond is definitely safe for swimming in

Monday and Tuesday!

Monday and Tuesday were busy days. The duplex got a lot of work done, along with the Batcave which got a lot of shingles. Unfortunately, the handicap ramp group realized that they had design flaws, and had to start over and dig a couple four foot deep holes.

The Duplex had a plethora of work completed. The back bedroom is now varnished and looks fantastic! Along with the ceilings being primed in painted in one side, soon to move on to the next. All of the torn out ceilings have now been replaced with new ceiling tiles.

And the big news of this morning....WE HAVE A BATHROOM FLOOR!!! Michael, Neil and myself, a few members of the duplex group, were able to stay and work on the floor late Tuesday night. We were finally able to finish this morning and so one side finally has a new floor, on to the next side later today and tomorrow.

Great work continues to be accomplished at the camps! Hopefully the beautiful weather persists.

Friday and Saturday


Friday in the duplex, we cleaned the ceiling, added the strapping back on to the ceiling, finished pulling out the bathroom floors, started sistering the floor joists in the left bathroom. The ceiling in the bedroom on the right side of the duplex is done as well. The batcave group worked on their roof, and the handicap ramp group worked on the foundation of the bottom of the ramp some more and made hamburgers.
On Saturday night, Ellen and Michael worked on sistering the floor joists in the right side bathroom. One more sister has to be cut and added, along with some additional bracing for the new members. We will finish that up monday so that the floor can be put in.
