La Fortuna
The first full week at La Fortuna in Renton went well. The office trailer arrived from Issaquah and we reinstalled the stairs and landings on Tuesday. Wednesday we leveled and set up the office trailer and organized the TEX container to be ready for the volunteer group scheduled for Thursday.
Thursday the Cheesecake Factory brought 13 volunteers who worked on installing footing drains, trenching for office power and telephone, setting up the kiosks, and erosion control. The staff worked with Master Electrician, Curt Hedges to build the power pole for the trailer and get it installed. Over all a definite success.
Friday, staff worked with the Americorps to install the conduit for the trailer power and telephone. Curt came out and I pulled the wires through the conduits and made the connections. The trailer power is ready for inspection on Tuesday. Connection will be scheduled after we pass the inspection and usually takes about 5 working days.
Saturday, a group from the UW Habitat for Humanity club and some homeowners came out to volunteer. We worked on the footing drains, garbage and recycling dumpsters, securing the plastic cover on the dirt mountain with twine and sand bags, and rearranging the building site fences so Steve has room to back fill the foundation.
Work next week will include; footing drains, plumbing underground, erosion control, site work (organizing, finishing the recycling dumpster, painting signs, filling in the power trench, etc), plus, maybe downspout drains and electrical conduits.
