The Summerland Project – Week 5

       It’s been one of those weeks where you work every day and there doesn’t seem to be anything to show for it.  We’ve all had those.

       In this case w have finished the scenery all the way to the end of the Summerland area and a little around the corner in order to have a nice scene when the public is back upstairs.  I think they will like what we have done to date.

       This small shed is home to the signal protecting the single track between Summerland and the siding at Okanagan Lumber Ltd.  John will detail this are when we are ready to reinstall the glass but already he has put lights in the building and installed a fellow with a bright green lantern.  So bright we had to tone it down as it blinded some members.

       Best news is we finally received our orchard and it looks as if we’ll have a great crop of Ambrosia Apples if the weather holds up.  We really lucked in there by putting in what would become the most popular apple in Canada if not the world.  Yeah for us!  

       We’re still fixing up the old farm house.  When the mice move out we will get in there and at least paint the place.  Right now it’s being used to store last fall’s small crop.

       Another quick look at all the wiring that’s going on under Summerland.  It has been a great success and so we are expanding the program to include a complex section of wiring under Penticton.  That will ental adding an entire new terminal panel and a series of small regulated power supplies.  In the end it will be much better for all of us. 

       Thanks John.  Great job.

       So your not going to see many pretty pictures for a week or so.  I’m going to be working my way through 60 pounds of Hydrocal.  Ugly work.  Nothing to see here.  Talk soon though.
