Claymont Members Doug and Marla Londraville returned three times this Spring and Summer to resume the project they started last fall of repairing, restoring and painting the Great Barn. This summer, working in 90+ degree weather, they made great progress with the paint sprayer, completing the West Kitchen side and painting all the way down to the Octagon. They even painted the old boiler room and paint shed. They also patched and prepped much of the rest of building so we can continue the work in October.
We still need to complete a stretch along the walkway on the north side; finish the south east side and five sides of the Octagon! That may sound daunting but not to Doug and Marla, who took on the entire building.
You are cordially invited to help out with this effort. The work weekend begins with dinner at 6:30 on Friday October 7 and ends on Sunday October 9 after lunch.
Suggested donation for the event is $200 if you are staying at Claymont, and $125 if staying off-site. However, do not let cost prevent you from attending, as financial assistance is available.
