Really neat project, and very satisfying to get up there and use your
hands. No experience necessary.
Be in touch with David with questions.

Dear Moosilauke Accomplices -
We have now had 3 terrific weekends of work on the '65, thanks to all who
have helped so generously.
Things are coming along just fine - but there's still a lot to do!
It's evident we can use help for all of the next three weekends.
* This coming weekend will be a lot of paneling, possibly some bunk framing
- plus we could use an ambitious exterior staining and cabinetry oiling
crew (we pre-built a pile of cabinets, and I will deliver them Thursday,
along with our tent...)
* Weekend of May 23 will be bunk framing, and any remaining trim, and any
staining not yet done.
* Weekend of May 30 will be oiling everything inside
* Weekend of June 6-7 will be the final push including completing the
woodshed.
We can use help midweek as well - actually that's particularly useful at
this point. We've got Andrew plus a pretty steady crew of 4; a few more
hands there will be welcome. Same deal of 24 hours of Lodge services per
day worked.
Please be in touch, and I'll plug you in.
Thanks David
