Furnishing Effort Begins

This has been a busy week. It started last Saturday checking out the some of the lights we are thinking about using on the exterior of the lodge. Everyone agreed the samples looked good so Mary and I picked up the rest on Tuesday and they'll be out at camp this weekend for the electrician.

We also purchased the fans for the Great Room.

On Tuesday I went down to the lodge to measure the bedrooms with the help of Ed Allen. The beds we are ordering form Rocky Top are a log construction and we were unsure how well they would fit in the bedrooms considering the spacing between the doors and windows. So we stopped and got some chalk, the glow in the dark kind, and measured out all of the bed placements. After considering the options we elected to order 9 bunks per youth room and 2 per adult room. The order went out on Thursday and they should be starting the beds next week.

All of that was followed by a conference call with the committee on Thursday to finalize the flooring in the Great Room, which after a lot of consideration will stay wood as in the original plans. Some additional news was that Carol found some barn wood at a place near Apple Canyon and Buddy started making some of the interior trim with it.

Tomorrow I'll be done at the lodge to deliver the lights and fans and Dave is bringing more of the tile for the kitchen area.
