Fall 2011 – Winter 2011/2012

During AUG, SEP – we had to slow down our construction work on the build, as our fund raising efforts were lagging behind our needs to purchase the material needed for the build.

Still we were able to complete many of the items and managed to have more than enough work for our volunteers during this time.

In OCT-2011 – The Fuller Foundation made another significant contribution to this project.  These funds will allow us to accelerate the build work and drive to closure of construction.

During OCT, NOV, DEC – with the help of our regular volunteer construction crew and numerous other helpers.  We have made significant progress.

From mid summer to early winter – we have completed;

Insulation installed

Electrical wiring installed

Plumbing installed

Heating system installed

Septic system installed and inspected

Drywall installed

Drywall taped and plastered

Installation of interior doors and door and window trim.

Painting of interior

Started the installation of laminate flooring upstairs

We are well on our way to finishing the construction activities to allow for completion in late JAN-2012
