June 2022 Newsletter: Dental Clinic renovation

June is a month mixed with joy as the renovation starts on the relocation of the Dental Clinic and sadness as I watch the destruction of my lovely yard and the beautiful old tree become firewood.

I walked down the mountain to stand in what was the great room in my former dwelling. The window is gone and a larger one will take its place.

Jean Marie stands with me viewing what was my beautiful front yard. This room will now be the patient waiting room. Sad to see the garden go but necessary.

It was a big beautiful tree with problems. Remember when in July 2018 a large section yielded to the storm and landed in the driveway? Same tree, but we won’t have to worry about it falling on the house anymore.

This will be the parking area for dental patients. The tree limbs will make good firewood when propane gas runs out.

Area being prepared for off-street parking.

Welders making frames for new windows.

Small windows give way to larger ones. The workers are replacing windows and adding more ventilators.

Air conditioning is not needed, but airflow is so important

Windows and ventilators completed.

The very old roof was removed. Ready for metal sheets that will protect the interior from rain and wind.

Blue metal sheets arrive.

Frame support work in place. This is work to be completed before a new roof can be placed.

In process.

The new roof is on. Work inside to begin.
