Progress Report

Things are starting to look a little different around here, beginning with the maintenance shop project. The first photo below shows how things looked when I arrived a couple of weeks ago; the second shows where we are at today.

Then...

and now.

Tomorrow the work crews will start backfilling the foundation and compacting it (by hand) in preparation for pouring the floor.

There has also been few changes in the tool storage area, requiring Tome to clear out a few odds and ends to make room for the new tool boxes.

Out with the old...

and in with the new.

Out on the airstrip, work continues as the high spots are leveled out and the low spots filled in.

Throw in a few fairly intensive automotive training sessions, and that's where things stand at the moment. It's time to go, so I'll let my little friends from the primary school say goodbye.

The little changes we make today will bring about big changes for children like these. Thanks for checking in!
