Thursday, October 15. 2009Time OutMany of you have commented that they enjoy my efforts to post current news and photos of IRM on this series of blogs. I rely heavily on images submitted to me, especially by Kirk Warner. Kirk becomes a snowbird every winter and flees to warmer weather, so in a week he will be gone. And I am faced with some committments which will prevent my attendance at IRM for a month or more. So these twice a week (or more) updates will disappear for a while, unless some brave soul wants to send the images to me via e mail. I will plan on checking the home computer regularly and will not be totally out of touch. Thanks, everyone, for your help and support. Bob Kutella Thursday, October 15. 2009New Barn 4 Construction, October 2009 Barn 4 Addition On October 12, materials began arriving and the contractors set up to build the addition on Barn 4. (See my previous post showing grading work). By Wednesday this week, they were digging the holes for the building support posts, despite light rain, and you can see some of the materials and supplies staged on the ground surrounding the work site. |
