Storage Bins
We created seven large storage bins which allow us to store all materials at the maintenance facility. This configuration eliminates the need for us to dump in high-visibility, member areas.
Old bins removed, area graded, and back wall supports being put in.

Carpentry
Our carpenter, George Snear, was hard at work this winter as well, helping with the demolition of the patio and building of the storage bins while building new water cooler houses and benches for the Wissahickon course amongst other things. The new benches and water cooler houses will give the course a natural feel and look to it. Below are some pictures of him putting together one of the new benches.
