Report for Saturday and Sunday July 4th.

With input from Doug Kolish.

Doug worked on cleaning up the front garden both days. He brought 6
buckets of fill from the Town landfill for the garden and removed a bush
that was
deemed to be in the wrong place. The flower pots and stones were moved
to the garden shed area. The gardener lady was in on Saturday as well.

On Sunday Gee and I were there. I put another coat of drywall compound on
the wash room hallway corner, this will need a third coat before
painting. I also filled the holes in the outside of the gift shop door
made by vandals two years ago, some sanding and this will be ready to paint.

The heritage plaque needs another coat of Tuscan paint.

I brought the round shirt display stand back from storage to the gift
shop, the students will hang up the T shirts for better display.

I moved the bucket of parts and the alternator from the old air
compressor to the shed, then sorted out the parts. I will make the
distribution manifold at BRS in the next few weeks. If we can locate the
water pump removed last year I can get the compressor going. This will
be handy for operating the spike driver, sandblaster and spray painter.

I finished the day cataloguing artifacts in the house. Gee was weeding
around the house flower beds. Left at 2 pm as the heat was getting fierce.
