Water plant insulation

A wonderful friend gave camp some money to seal up the water plant better. The wind blows all the heat right out in the winter months. Currently the walls have a R-13 fiberglass insulation, but we added another  R-16 with this insulation. It is a radiant barrier and a vapor barrier, which is good because the high humidity is damaging to the fiberglass. Now the water plant has R-29 on the walls!

Dining Hall heat

We got the water heater all up and running for the Dining Hall. That's a lot of hot water!

Now we are heating the Dining Hall and the staff housing below it with the wood burner. The white pipes you can see going into the top of the furnace pipe 180*F water into coils, and the furnace fan blows it into the building.
