Buildings and Grounds

Here is the latest development is our barn building process.    Dave Diamond and his crew again have done a marvelous job this time paving the asphalt walk ways.  This was accomplished this past Monday.  Six, five hundred foot long paved areas were asphalted all in one day.   All labor was provided by our in house staff so that the cost of the project was well within our planned budget.    Matter-of-fact by completing the work inhouse we saved quite a bite of money.   Hopefully, we can apply the savings to the next barn, 15.    Want to build another barn please send your donation to the "New Barn Fund"    Thanks     Roger

The completions of Barns 13 and 14 are continuing with the enormous help of the building and grounds crew led by Dave Diamond.   As of this last Wed all four concrete  large end door sills slabs are now poured and waiting curing. In the mean time work continues to correct an elevation error leading to the inside of the both buildings.  After more ballast has been dumped and tamped on the rail leading into each barn  the process can begin to grade and smooth the future interior walkways.   Then the hard job of laying asphalt can begin.  Please consider a donation to cover  the additional barn construction costs overruns.  Materials and labor are very expensive!  It took Dave and his crew a week just to dig the holes and  install the wooden forms for one barn's door sills!      Want to help?   Please send in your donations to the new barn fund.   Thanks   Roger
