A Beautiful Day at SHP

I awoke this morning to what seemed to be another cloudy dreary day at the park. Boy, was I wrong! The weather turned out to be beautiful. It was a nice 80 degrees today with a decent breeze flowing through the park. It ended up being a great day to get some work done, and boy did we get some work done.

First, Nick and Manny pretty much finished off the three bay barn. Here are few pictures of how the three bay barn progressed over the past month.

As you can see the barn has undergone a massive transformation. It is invigorating and refreshing to finally see something accomplished. Thank you Gregg for getting on us about the barn.

Next, Matt and Travis, one of our new guys, ran the stump grinder all day long. We only have the stump grinder for the week and we want to really get some of the stumps out the park... I mean once you chop down 1 million trees there are bound to be some stumps right? Well today it was Matt and Travis's turn.

Next the pavilion. Scott, Mike, and Chris our other new guy, worked on it all day. First, they removed half the roof and then started on the cedar shaking. I'm really excited about this project myself. I think it will improve the look of the pavilion ten times over.



Next, the parking lot. The parking lot has been a pain in the rear. Today that is where Brittany, Ric, Ryan, Ellie, and myself worked. Today we cleared away some scrap metal, properly disposed of 27 used tires, cleared out another 10 or 15 honey suckle bushes(which met there end in a nice little bonfire), and cleared a large area of weeds with the weed eater ( which fought with Brittany most of the day).


Then there is our favorite little Stonehouse worker Lexi. She is always making sure she looks cute and that her mom Carissa gets no rest.


The dogs had there work cut out for them today as well it seems.

Lastly is Ryan. Ryan is leaving our Stonehouse park family to move to Denver. He spent most of the day packing and will spend most of tomorrow packing as well. We are planning on having a going away party for him tomorrow night in the newly finished three bay barn.
