Making the Mark (a tale of adversity)

New lake? No guys.  That is a footer!

New lake? No guys. That is a footer!

Doing things the easy way is apparently not a very “campy” way to be. So we decided to start a major building project within a month of summer camp actually starting. Mostly the fun is in watching our contractors sweat and develop hives, but the hives usually become contagious after a while.

Well, not with our contractor. Robert Sulaski laughs in the face of deadlines! He is like some sort of superhero. “No no, that carved native American totem pole simply will not do! Take it back and do it again….We still have time,” he sneers at the artsy man from somewhere in Kentucky. Even in the face of numerous April showers and sketchy soil quality because of moisture Robert is undaunted! “Dig a trench here to funnel the water away from the site,” he tells his graders. Truly a master in his craft! What do you think campers? Are we going to make it? Here are some pictures.

Look at those huge logs!  Nice eh?

Any thoughts? I think it will happen! Robert means business.
