This was our second big work party of the year!
With Archie's leadership we were able to replace the old garage door with a new
wall complete with a big door and window! The ping pong room now has access,
light, and is a nice usable space! We all had a great time and got a lot of
things done. It sure feels good to help out the Cabin, the Club, and make some
new friends!
It always amazes me that the WAC is filled with
people who cherish an opportunity to work as a team and get things done.
We'll have only one more on
Saturday July 16 to finish up the ping pong room remodel! Once again, we'll do a
BBQ cookout!
What else do we need to do? Split and stack wood. Clean
windows, Clean the top of the light fixtures and ceiling fans. Caulk some
windows. Clean the WAC grounds, make a dump run, transplant some trees. Finish
the outside stairs.
We could use some kindling ( in boxes if you have
some)

final touches on the Fire Alarm. The
alarm is monitored, and if it goes off the Fire Department will respond!

Have you visited the Cabin lately? It is the
perfect place to spend a getaway weekend. Snoqualmie Pass offers many great
hikes and bike rides.

Chuck and Diane putting a coat of
polyurethane on the new insulated walls. I don't know how they managed to
stay so clean!
Diane also prepared a rhubarb crisp fresh from
the WAC garden! Yummm!
The rhubarb in the WAC garden dates back to
1932 and was planted by our esteemed Chef Nelson. It comes back every year! |

Les Sargent sanding the Drexel
Table. Rachel refinished the top, and it looks great now!
The table was given to the Cabin by the
Snoqualmie Pass Fire Department.
Chloe and Sean having fun in the sawdust!

Jim Mossman has been working to refinish the
Family Dorm door. If you see it missing it is because he is working on it! He is
removing several coats of paint, and then hand sanding the door to bring out the
fine grains of the high quality hard wood. He estimates he has an additional 8
hours of work to complete the project! Total time spent will be about 24 hours
on the door.

Bert Bradley installing some more
new carpet!
The new carpet will be easy to keep clean,
long lasting, and make Guye Cabin warmer and quieter. And, the best part? It
looks great! Bert has installed all the
carpet in Guye Cabin. |
Want to get signed off to
open or close Guye Cabin on your own?

the climbing class, serving on the WAC Board, or as Conservation Chair or First
Aid Chair.
When you visit the Cabin:
Don't forget to sign in the Cabin Log Book! This
is a historical record of the Cabin and it is fun to look back and see the work

Also, introduce yourself to everyone, relax, enjoy
some fellowship, and have a great time!

Guye Cabin was originally
built in 1932 by a bunch of volunteers just like us. Several additions were
built over the years. The work has always been done by work parties of Club
members! We are working hard to make sure that maintenance and needed repairs
are done to keep the Cabin in top condition. Our Cabin deserves our respect and
care!
Remember, 2007 is the 75th
anniversary of Guye Cabin!

Rhubarb Crisp for dessert. Wow!
Dave Mitchell baked some brownies! Most were
gone way before lunch!
