Thank you - Volunteers!!
KUDO's to
all who volunteer to make HYC a nicer
club!
So many projects have been
accomplished lately that the work force volunteer's
have begun to overlap. The hardworking member's who
accomplished the dock replacement, dance floor,
Ship's Store deck, and Ladies Shower room had many of
the same members' who worked on more than one of
these projects. Many thanks to all of
you.
The makeover of the Ladies Shower
facility took a month less than the men's room and is
hopefully finished as this goes to print. The job was
much more pleasant as the odors emanating from the
underneath’s of the ceramics weren't nearly as bad as
the men's room.
This unannounced project
began with little notice as the team materialized
only a day before the demo. Craig "Where's" Wicke and
Jim Pascarelli provided some the heavy duty tools
that made the tile removal a bit easier. The job
still sucked but, we got through it in two and half
days. Then came the prep. Then more prep. Then even
more prep. I could go on but you would fall
asleep.
Suffice to say, after getting
the old hollow tile walls covered by Steve
"Sheetrock" Stock, Tim "Foxhole" Ryan and Richard
"What's that odor" Tatz, came through with the
tiling, painting, and plumbing. Anyone seeing Tim
scrape and paint the lockers in the lower deck
certainly noticed his torture. Surely he wasn't
enjoying it as much as he let on. Never a word of
complaint though.
Richard Tatz was, as
usual, performing on his even keeled approached to
the tile job, even with the leftover roughness of a
remodel job. The electrical work was accomplished by
Wally "Sparkie" Agnew as needed, and when called
upon. He loves being asked to do things for the
HYC.
Dave "Kaz" Stewart was motivated by
his lovely wife Kaz, to do the same magic on the
louver replacement he did on the men's room. Under
the guise of a hot lunch, Kaz delivered food to him
while he was working. (We really think she was just
checking up on him).
Eric "Grout Miester"
Beach appeared late in the days to do the grouting of
the walls. We still aren't sure what he was listening
to under those headphones.
"Steady"
Steve Hiestand once again rose up to fix all the
inconsistencies of a re-model with his fine touch as
the finish carpenter. Steve had the unenviable task
of covering up all the things we couldn't during the
rebuild. His efforts hide all the uglies. Thanks
Steve.
The new make-up benches were
recovered by Ms. Tiffany Lopez who never quit smilin'
during her efforts.
Many thanks to all
of you and to anyone else who offered support and
advice during the efforts. Sorry we couldn't
incorporate all of your wonderful suggestions. The
room just wasn't big enough. Besides, the colors just
wouldn't have matched.
Sorry if I left
anyone out.
Happy
showers!
