Well, retreat season ended and Summer started on the same day, it seemed. I find it amazing how the Summer starts, and things that were getting light to moderate use begin to fail. Every good intention to update the blog faded into obscurity while the need to maintain stuff invaded my thought life. Anyway, here we are again. Summer is ending. Now, lets see if I can remember anything I was intending to say.
SOWERS worked on the new floor in the dining hall and did an awesome job. The sunk-in area is no longer sunk-in and even though the watch your step signs are still there (for some reason), you can just keep on walking. Some staff have commented that they still occasionally try to step up when approaching the serving line. I must admit I am among them. One residual effect of the dining hall floor project was that the fireplace in the serving line area needed to come out. This resulted in having more space in the pots-n-pans room and and a little more in the kitchen -something I like to call a balloon project. We also opened the doorway that exits the dining hall by the tray room. Traffic flows a little easier and it all looks really good. SOWERS also spent some time in the doorways between private rooms at Four Seasons and made them a bit more private by insulating the doors between them -a lengthy, arduous task that took some patience.
Once again, I find myself talking about volunteers -commentary on the fact that we cannot make the kind of progress we make without them.
