Findin The Leak...

Hilltop Bath House Makeover

2011-11-30T09:06:00.001-08:00

The boys and girls bathhouse at the pavilion is in dire need of rennovation. New tile, fixtures, stalls, etc will make these vital spaces appealing for years to come. We will need supplies and hands.

Walkway to Lodge

2011-11-30T08:46:00.001-08:00

This little section of trail leads up to the lodge and is in desperate need of gravel. We have that gravel and only need hands to move and spread it.

Flagstone Path

2011-11-30T08:43:00.001-08:00

It has long been a dream of mine to see this walkway turned into a flagstone pathway. Maybe it is just cosmetic but I think it would add so much character.

Parker Lodge Insulation

2011-11-30T08:39:00.001-08:00

The fireside room in the lodge has never been insulated though we heat and cool it. Until this is fixed, we are literally throwing money out the "window" in power costs.

Light Hanging on by a Prayer

2011-11-30T08:34:00.001-08:00

This flood light is just hanging by a hope and a prayer. We will provide the replacement hardware if you provide the install.

Picnic Areas

2011-11-30T08:31:00.001-08:00

More picnic tables will make this spot by the lodge a perfect picnic spot for our guests.

Mossy Lodge Roof

2011-11-30T08:30:00.001-08:00

We need volunteers with pressure washers and a clorox mix to douse this moss before it grows into a real problem.

COMPLETED - Grill Assembly

2010-04-02T20:51:00.000-07:00

At the carport of the shop, there are two new grills that need to be assembled and placed at Lydia Cottage and Nesbit Cottage.

COMPLETED - Hwy 20 Banner

2010-04-02T20:47:00.000-07:00

Our nice banner on Hwy. 20 needs to be tightened or rehung altogether, you will need the truck bed or a ladder to get up there.

COMPLETED - Pavilion Bushes Trimming

2010-04-02T20:31:00.000-07:00

These bushes at the pavilion are getting WAY too tall. The clippers and hand saws are in the shop. They need to be no higher than an adults waist or so. Currently they get in the way of staff members' ability to see all around the most active space on camp property.

COMPLETED - Cabin Crawlspace

2010-04-02T20:27:00.000-07:00

This winter, David Smith, our new carpenter came out and helped by closing in the crawlspaces under the cabin bathrooms. Now that they are done, they need to be completed by being painted. Brush, roller paint and enthusiasm is all that is needed.

COMPLETED - Office Stairs & Porch

2010-03-11T13:20:00.000-08:00

We are now using the old trailer as the CRC office. This space
is turning out to be perfect for organizing, copying, planning, etc. and would be a fantastic spot for arriving groups to check in......if they could reach the front door that is! We need a straight stair case from the Lodge Parking Area up to the front door of the office......don't worry, I'll move the "office" sign!

COMPLETED - It Huffed and It Puffed and It Blew the Roof Down!

2010-03-11T12:54:00.000-08:00

Oh, our poor Parker Lodge Roof! I see little option for less than a total makeover. For several years now I have watched you shed your shingles like my hair in the shower, but now I feel like you are balding more quickly than I am! Please oh Lord, let the insurance adjuster see it fit to rule this problem total wind damage and offer up support for a total reinstall!

COMPLETED - Moldy Shower Curtains

2010-03-11T12:31:00.000-08:00

Throughout the bathrooms on our property, there are several shower curtains that are moldy on the bottom. A couple of sets of enthusiastic hands, some new curtains and an afernoon would do the trick here.

COMPLETED - Cottages Interior Door Knobs

2010-03-11T09:58:00.000-08:00

One of our most common late night phone calls is from rental groups needing a specific bedroom door opened, regardless of if their leader was given the key set. Since we do not rent these buildings by the room, we need to change the door knobs over from keyed to regular interior bedroom door hardware. The knobs have been purchased, we just need some one with time and a screwdriver to install them.

COMPLETED - Pavilion Rail Netting

2010-03-11T07:19:00.000-08:00

Several years back, some wise person decided to add netting below the railing around the pavilion. This netting prevents balls (and children) from passing through. It works perfectly, but is just now failing in some places due to it's high use and age. Netting, zip ties, and a few sets of willing hands will knock this one out in no time!

COMPLETED - Pavilion Water Fountain

2010-03-11T07:16:00.000-08:00

This waterfountain is the most frequently used source of hydration on the camp property. Currently, both bubblers are missing their buttons, it isn't draining correctly and the trap has sprung a leak. A "shade tree" plumber could most definitely take this one on with ease.

COMPLETE - Stone Soup Anyone?

2010-03-11T06:45:00.000-08:00

You don't want to make any soup in these "POT" holes. In three or four spots around camp, we have pothole "fields." The months of great rain were a blessing for our flora but have played havoc on our roads. While we are currently pursuing a contracting company to come out and do a major overhaul of the main loop, there is still need in a few places including the road to the cabins and to the office, for some energetic hands, shovels and wheel barrels.

COMPLETED - Front Entrance Sign

2010-03-11T06:39:00.000-08:00

For months now we have been propping up this tired front entrance sign. Thanks to a recent visit from the Craftsmen from Eastminster PCUSA, our sign is now back to normal. Thanks guys!

COMPLETED- Swimming Pool Sump Pump

2009-09-16T09:46:00.000-07:00

The pool is now closed for 2009, but we still need to find, place and run the sump pump to remove the excess water from the recent round of storms. This is an easy job that requires only one person and about half and hour to get started. Wrapping up only takes unplugging the pump and Kelly can get that done in his regular traversing of the site.

COMPLETED- Parker Lodge Dead Oak

2009-08-28T14:56:00.000-07:00

Right next to Parker lodge on the left side of the deck, there is a mature oak that has died. This tree needs an experience cutting crew to cut and fall it in a particular direction.....away from the deck and building. It sits at least 20 from the deck, so this should be doable for someone with some experience. We will need to get the ok from the Corps of Engineers prior to cutting (technically speaking).

Camp Wide Sign Posts

2009-08-28T14:53:00.000-07:00

Before the summer began, Calhoun's Men's Group came out and traded some camping for service hours. Their project was to rout all the signs for the sign posts to be installed across the property. Over the course of the summer many of the sign posts were put in the ground and the signs hung, but the project wasn't finished. We need a crew with post hole diggers who can find there place on the map to put up the remaining posts and take screw guns to attach the already routed and painted directional signs.

COMPLETED - Pool House Toilet

2009-08-28T14:52:00.001-07:00

Before the summer, Eastminster's Craftsmen installed a new toilet in the bathouse by the pool on the boy's side. Somehow during the summer a large crack formed in the side of this toilet. We need a new toilet (cheap) and an installation crew that can just follow the instructions on the box for putting it in.

COMPLETED - Screen Cabin 2

2009-08-28T14:50:00.000-07:00

The screens on each of the four screen cabins and screen porches on the masonry cabins should be checked, however we know that there are a couple of panels that are in need of repair on Screen Cabin #2. Staple gun, extra screening that we have on hand and a couple hours ought to do it.

Downed Trees & Limbs

2009-08-28T14:42:00.000-07:00

Across the program track of our property, there are many downed trees and large limbs. While the intent here is not to clear the woods of woods, there are several areas where trees are too close to the path or road and are both dangerous for playing guests as well as unsightly. A couple of chainsaws and axes with experts to use them them many additional hands and our truck would move these pieces to the burn pile or the firewood piles.
