Rich is cleaning the parking lot (in the rain). This week we had some paving done for our additional parking areas. During the paving process, some dirt was moved around and a lot of mud was covering the parking area.

Rich is washing the mud off the new parking areaRick washing mud has a long way to go!

Rich was outside all day in a rain suit hosing and shoveling the mud off the parking area.

   

Bruce is trimming the heater

Bruce cut and installed trim around the new heater.

   

Don and Jeff removed the old plumbing that was sticking up through the floor in two locations.

They've determined that the only access to the crawl space is through a tiny hole in the floor in the closet that was uncovered last week.

Pipes to be removed

This is the hole in the closet that was behind the false wall. Don looks unconvinced that Jeff's going to fit into the hole and checks it out himself.

Jeff went into the crawl space to check the plumbing that had to be removed. Unfortunately, the photographer wasn't available for that event. He claims that Don had to help push him through the hole!

The pipes are gone Note that the plumbing is gone. Don's preparing to build an access panel to cover the hole in the floor.
   

 

The heater was on today and heated that whole end of the building!

Rocco and Gene moved the Japanese Maple out of the way of the paving. It was to the right of this picture. Relocated Japanese Maple
   
Opened closet with water heater

Jeff and Don removed some shelving from inside the closet and removed a bookcase from the hallway to open up this closet.

This closet has a large hot water heater with two heating elements, only one of which works. There used to be several sinks in rooms which no longer exist.

This water heater will probably come out since it only heats water for one remaining bathroom. A small local heater will be installed directly in the bathroom.

   
Every one else is leaving, and Rich is still washing and shoveling mud. That's dedication! Thanks, Rich. Rich cleaning the parking lot
