As you can see from the photos, the masonry work is almost complete. The 60 foot Glulam beams are due to arrive early next week, followed quickly by the steel beams on Thursday. Jesse Ainsworth’s construction class will be applying 2 coats of sealer and a finish coat prior to installing the glulam beams.
Next week should also see the arrival of the steel beams. A big thank you to Butch Shields (’65) for overseeing the steel beam portion of this project.
1969 grad Chal Holte responded to our last request for painting help by driving down from Eugene. Chal was joined by some current Key Club members – including two frosh. Go Frosh! The Key Club members enjoyed their Friday painting so much, they signed up to finish the job on Saturday.
As we get closer to the actual raising of the roof, we’d like to thank Jason Smith of Southport Lumber for donating the plywood for the roof and lumber for the viewing rooms. More kudos go out to Bryan Knutson of Knutson Towboat for making magic happen with the giant crane that will soon be setting the beams and installing the plywood.
Thanks for all of your support. Without your donations of time, material and cash we could not have completed this project.
