Gee Kylie, I hope everyone is ok. Emergency room visits are never a good thing unless a healthy baby is the result.

Ibtsoom, just post when you get a chance Bro.

Walker, man . . . . . thank you for your generosity. We've decided that we do not want the rolled fiberglass insulation in there at all. Too much moisture out there to consider it, plus it's nasty stuff to work with. TMO is working on some extruded closed cell foam insulation that sounds like it will be perfect for that environment. I had reckoned we could only do one bedroom, but if you help out as well, we could probably do both. He's the honcho on the interior as that's what his business is. I'm sure he'll see this tomorrow and PM you. Thank you again for your generous offer, and I'm sure we'll take you up on it.

Well, I sent the photos to the state today and it looks like this is all officially over with.

I'd like to post a detailed report, but what I have written already will have to suffice. I'd rather begin to look toward the future now and start a new post about the get together this weekend. I'll post the pics, none of them came out very well in the low light. My thanks again to everyone who made this happen. The monkey is off our backs. - Sandy

Sandy -- Congrats again! I'm stuck in Baton Rouge for a few days but I'll post up the pics that I have when I get home. Glad I could lend you guys a hand.

hey sorry i couldnt make it out, i had to make a late night emergency room run.

[Walker]

Sandy: How about let's get some fiberglass insulation in those outer walls and the ceiling before covering/recovering?

When we built our place on Anegada, we did not insulate. The walls are block, so they really are not an issue. But the ceiling definitely brings in the heat during the day. That is the only real mistake we made.

It is too easy to do to not do it.

I'll foot the bill for the material.

[TMO]

No doubt Mike, that is awsome!!!!! Time to do some interior finish work.....I'll bring the wall panels.

[007]

I'm happy just to have been a part of the whole demo and rebuild. It sure was a satisfying sight to see the ghost camp gone.

[SCHU]

I'll try to make it for one day. We may not work this weekend, won't know until Thursday. May even bring the boat; it needs running anyway. I'm glad you got this behind you and I know it was a reeely big project.

Awesome Pictures williep...AWESOME! Finally some relaxation at the camp. spike

[Walker]

Congratulations on getting the deed done, Sandy. I know what it means to you.

Ibsoom, please feel free to post the photos. I wanted to do it, but with the update, it's just too late for me to do it now. I'll post my pics tomorrow night.

Thanks to WillieP, who was a chainsaw maniac again and came all the way from Baytown TWICE, to 007 who fought through a gimp ankle and took out the fiberglass tank among other things, to Likesemfishbig11 who jumped on everything he was asked to tackle, and finally to Ibtsoom who showed up just in the nick of time to haul off the last 3 loads.

IT is done.

Weather permitting, next weekend I'd like to invite every single person who ever lifted a finger at the Ghost Camp to come out to Blockade Runners and enjoy a day or 2 of relaxation. Just come for a few hours or the whole time, it doesn't matter. No obligations, and no work will be allowed or attempted. Call it a Ghost Camp is Gone Party. First 3 cases of brew are on me. I'll have a rack of ribs and stuff for a boil. If you want to bring your own and throw it on the grill or stove, bring it on. This will be a very informal thing. Just come, relax, and enjoy. No boat? I pick you up at the ramp.

This is not to be confused with the upcoming Blockade Runners re-dedication party to happen sometime in early June. That will be a much bigger deal.

I am glad yall got it Sandy I will try my best to make the celebration
