Framed Pictures

We haven't given you pictures in a while, and felt a little guilty. Below you will find pictures of the most recent progress of cutting and fitting the new and previously existing frames. The process of fitting nearly 100 frames is moving along right on schedule. No more surprises (cross your fingers) are expected at this point and the end is nearly in sight as the tunnel begins to get a bit brighter each day. The nice weather, well until this week, has given us the chance to open the doors to Building J to let some fresh spring air flow in. If you are ever around the Western Waterfront stop in and check out the action, and, if you have any questions someone will be around to fill you in if for only a brief moment.

As the season nears the anticipation of Christeen going back in the water to put smiles on thousands of people's faces is mounting. We cannot wait until the first splash of when she goes back in the water. Until then however, we are just taking in how great this project has been and continues to be from the actual scope of the project to the complexity and to all the people who have been a part of it. Many people from the community and surrounding areas have pitched in to make the project possible and easier to accomplish. The many tasks we have taken on as the project and repairs have progressed would not have been possible without the help of many.


Got Wood?
Need Frames?
Let's make some Frames!
Nothing like some fresh cut timber





Gaps in the original frames
That's a nice fit!
More Gaps, need to get rid of these
New Frames, that'll fix the issues!
Frames, getting fit, looks good from here!
