Wire clean up and sealing on south side

At Longs Peak we cleaned under the cabin. The wires under there looked like noodles, so we are stapling it all up.
We finished all the brick and morter on the south side, so now it is all sealed up!

Foundation Work, Continued...

Today we cleaned out more debris from below Longs Peak, and put up boards to fill with concrete for the footer. We also filled in some of the concrete.

Crawl Space Clean-out

Today we cleaned out underneath Longs Peak cabin to prepare for the foundation work. It was really, really nasty under there. We got a lot of debris out, including trash and more than a few dead critters. Sadly for us, we get to do this a couple more times, since we only got 1/3 of it done today...

Foundation Work

Today we were digging out the foundation of Longs Peak. This is one of the staff houses where we are going to do some work this week.

This building, which is part old log cabin and part newer addition, is very drafty in the original section. To help with this, we are putting in new double pane windows and filling in the space below the outer walls. The first step is digging trenches, which will then be filled with concrete and rebar. Above that, we will stack these cinder blocks donated to us by High Peak camp.
