New Water System Now Running

2008-05-13T07:45:00.000-07:00

We have replaced the main water line and now have excellent water pressure to each cabin. With this step complete, there should be very little interruption in cabin usage throughout the remainder of the construction.

Three to four inches of snow fell Sunday night and it snowed most of the day yesterday, but did not accumulate. With the warm weather scheduled for later in the week, it should be an excellent weekend to come and enjoy the mountains.

This morning we are stocking the ponds with about 1,200 brown and rainbow trout. Check out the next post for pictures.

The old store and garage are just about gone. All debris should be gone by the end of the week.

New construction will most likely not be starting for about four weeks. We can not start until the ground is dry and our experts tell us that will be in about four weeks if it will stay warm and dry for a little while.

Keep checking as we post more about our construction and development.

Setup of Temporary Space Underway

2008-05-07T17:14:00.000-07:00

Demolition is well under way. We are about 50% through the process of removing the old buildings and setting up our temporary work space.

The new convenience store will be mostly ready for operation this weekend. A few items that require extra plumbing may need another week or two but the store should be completely ready by Memorial Day weekend.

We have two temporary office trailers set up. One will be used for ATV and snowmobile rentals. It has an area for helmets, suits, and boots. It has a check-in area for contracts and paperwork and a lounge area for those who may need a break and want to wait for others to finish up their adventure.

The second trailer is for cabin and housekeeping usage. All cabin guests will check-in at this office. There is also office space for sales presentations and for those interested in looking at the construction plans.

Check back often to follow our progress.

Demolition Has Begun

2008-05-07T16:27:00.000-07:00

Thank you to all who came to the Home Owners’ meeting on Wednesday. I appreciate your comments and input and look forward to seeing you over the coming year.

This will be the first post of many as we begin our construction season. Our goal this year is to construct the swimming pool, pool house, and two large outdoor hot-tubs. Additionally, we are building the first five-bedroom cabin (which will be known as Cabin #6).

The demolition is moving along. We started Wednesday and made good progress by the time I left last night.

The new store is just about set up in the prior cabin known as the sales office. This store will be great. It is a great spot for the store and will be able to offer a wide variety of products. Probably the highlight of the store will be make-it-yourself soft ice cream cones.

This morning we are starting to remove the older buildings. Our goal is to have them completely removed by Friday.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments and feel free to make your own posts.

Have a great week and check back often.
