CROWBAR V- The CROW Brief Action Report

The PROGRESS – Like the flowers need the rain - We really need YOU!
The walls are up and the roof is going on.
 Our site supervisor Bob Krause (ARJAY Builders) is on site every day now and we can really use lots of help to put up trusses and sheet the roof.
 The log posts for around the outside to support the roof over the deck will arrive soon. We need framers.
 The windows are ready to install. Can you come and help?
 We need to build a new access trail to the north side of the building from the west – to keep construction traffic and future delivery traffic away from camper areas. Do you know how to use a shovel? Do you have a big loader or grader?
 We plan to demolish at least one Teepee and move some old boys cabins ($5 a swing ??)

$ The project is now in Phase Two which is estimated to cost $350,000. This will complete the building to lock-up (Wall, roof, windows and doors). To date we have spent 168, 000 on groundwork, footings, walls, windows trusses and equipment rentals.
