Wrapping up loose ends

Always pleasing to wrap things up and here at the volunteer centre we’ve managed to finish off a few projects recently. There’s been a double whammy with the final completion of the Basecamp woodshed (getting the doors on) and getting the roof on the recycling store at Wray Castle.


Basecamp Ranger Clair pleased to have finished the doors.
We’ve been meaning to get the doors on the woodshed for ages now, but never seemed to find the time. Excuses, excuses etc, but they’re on now and we can finally lock one bay for drying while the other is open to be used by volunteers in our woodburner. Brilliant!

The recycling bin store has had a slightly shorter gestation. Built in the same way, with the help of a National Trust working holiday (see blog entry on 26th July) we got the frame up at the end of this week. Here's a quick film showing some of how it was done on site...

 
Needed a roof though, and that’s now gone on and made it look splendid. Admittedly, there’s still the cladding to go on the side but that’ll be a quick job ….. we’ll just try not to take a year over it this time …..

 The Castle recycling store looking beautiful
Finally, there’s the Basecamp Squirrels film. This has been a project over the summer to make a short feature about the red squirrels that visit the Basecamp. There was a blog entry about them on 17th May with some cute pictures and a quick preview of the film on the 21st June blog entry, but we’ve now got the full length feature film – well, about 3 minutes …. You can watch it here:
