From dirt to asphalt...Howard cabin nearing the end...

...nearing the end of construction, that is.

We have two exciting slideshows of photographs today. The dust is starting to settle, and completion of the restoration of the Howard cabin is becoming reality.

Truckloads of dirt have been hauled in, asphalt paths have been laid, the chinking is curing, and the finishing touches are being placed on the electricity. Now we just need the final cleaning, "secret" emergency phone line installation, and furnishing!

Soon our wrought iron fencing will be replaced, and access to the Marine School will be restored. We will keep fencing around the Howard cabin for a couple more weeks to allow the chinking to cure completely...but visitors and staff will still be able to get a close-up look at a brand-new-very-old historic structure.

We'll keep you posted as we get the cabin furnished. Can you guess what we're turning it into? We've mentioned it here before...

To view the project from beginning to end, just click the "Howard cabin" tag at the end of this post...
