Gettin' Ready for a Big Week!

This past week Len and Lorrayne Breen arrived from Ontario to be with us for a few busy weeks. Liz and I have been enjoying having them work along side us as we prepare for the work teams that will be descending on Arrowhead this coming week! The first team arrives on Sunday evening. I'll introduce you to them as they arrive!

Len and I spent a couple of days finishing up with burning the brush from last fall. We're all ready to start a new pile of this years deadfall! Yesterday we went to Minto and picked up some countertop at the Eastland Kitchens factory. One of the work teams will be installing cabinets and countertop in the dishpit - this will help with space, organization and cleanliness! Today we spent in demolition mode as we took all of the old aluminum siding off of the office building. A team will install brand new vinyl siding beginning on Monday.

Liz and Lorrayne have been working hard at Spring cleaning the lodge and opening up the cabins. Our work teams will have to stay in the cabins for the week - one of the jobs to be done is flooring, paint and trim in the upper lodge dormatory which means no one can stay up there! There are lots of jobs to do, and there will be lots of willing hands here to do them. It's going to be an exciting week! Watch for updates!

Need stuff taken apart... we're your guys!

The bare office building awaiting it's fresh siding! (We didn't have a tall enough ladder to reach the gable ends, we're going to borrow one on Monday)
