Cabins Update with Pictures from our last work weekend!

Hey Everyone,

By now everyone should know there are only two seasons in New Hampshire: Winter and Construction Season. Last I checked, there was no snow to be found and that can only mean one thing...We're back at work on Jackson Cabin! Over the weekend of June 16-17th six motivated alumni (and two very lazy dogs) got a heck of a lot of work done on the new cabin. We were able to fully insulate and sheath the east and west sides of the new cabin (the two non-gabled ends), finish framing the north (deck side) gabled end, and get a good chunk of the interior wallboard up on that gabled end as well. Pictures can be found here.

Here's a fun fact I was thinking about this past weekend while working on the cabin: This project truly does bridge the gap between not only alumni / current student, but it also bridges the generational gap. Since we've begun work, we've had UNHers ranging from the classes of the mid 1970's all the way up to the class of 2010...almost a 40 year span! Besides the obvious learning experience of actually building a cabin, we've all been able to learn about and experience first hand the past, present, and future of UNH through the New Hampshire Outing Club. Thanks again to everyone who has brought sweat, insight, and connection to this amazing project.

Remember to check back often for updates and pictures this summer!
