Some of the jobs that we have been doing are shown below but we also repaired the vertical siding on the end of a cabin--needed to keep the bats out. Some of the ladies have been doing exterior painting on a house. Also one lady has been sewing on chair cushions. CC has been painting on rocks for the gift store.
Chuck and Dennis (shown below) have been working on the facia on the gazebo plus they worked on the vertical siding.
Tractor with auger--several of the holes filled with water immediately. We didn't need any water for the concrete. It is a trick to drill straight holes on the hillside--also the auger is only 12 inch and the diagonal of the post is almost 9 inches--this required lots of hand work too!!
Three rows of poles set and two to go.
Another angle of view.
All the poles set and some notched ready for beams.
Three rows of beams set--next step on Monday will be to bolt the beams to the post. If the weather continues to cooperate we should make good progress next week
BC, Frank, Harold and Edroy are building a double deck by this pond. The pond will be raised 3 feet so the water depth will be 12 feet. The upper deck is for jumping onto a blob below. Don't know what a blob is? It is a big inflated "blob" where someone sits on and another person jumps onto the blob which in turns propels the first person out into the middle of the pond. The lower deck is 24 by 40 feet and the upper deck is 16 by 20 feet.
The first picture is before we started. That is Lake Livingston out in the distance.

There has been eleven couples from a church camping club from Houston area here all week. They have been they have been siding a new cabin, painting and gardening. Since that group was here, we got meals all week--sure makes it hard to diet. We are thankful since we are too tired at the end of the day to cook.
This is one of the areas that the camp needs suggestions on how to landscape. There are six more areas that suggestions are needed. Got any ideas let me know (I have more pictures). Right now the camp has unlimited supply of plants from the place that use to supply (I can't remember which) Lowe's or Home Depot.

Hi folks,
Fun to see all of your progress on the blob jump deck and the nice rock paintings (such talent). I see why you are tired come evening. We played some family tennis last night before being chased off the courts by darkness. Finally finished my taxes, yippee!
