Construction Journal for June 25, 2008

With better weather in sight, work is really moving along! Inside the lodge, carpeting will be installed in the public areas in early July. Interior framing and wallboard is complete and finishing is starting. The decking in the water park is being completed. On the exterior of the lodge, the siding and rock facing is almost finished.

The paving jobs for the RV park and boat ramp are complete. The contractor is now concentrating on the main parking lot in front of lodge, as well as parking lots for the golf clubhouse and maintenance building. It looks like the golf clubhouse will be finished and ready to be occupied by staff the first part of July.

Erik and his crew have been putting in long hours to get the golf course in great shape. As you can see from the photos, they are doing a fantastic job - thanks, guys!

Thanks to Ron Clester, from Peoples State Bank, for the great aerial photos. From the sky, you can really get a sense of how large the entire project is - something you just don’t get from a photo taken at ground level.

The recent job fairs that were conducted at Centerville, Indian Hills Community College and at Moravia were very well attended. Over 400 people applied for positions at Honey Creek, which was some kind of record for an area job fair. Thanks to everyone who came out to apply - good luck!
