We're moving ahead slowly on the Yorke Island Officers' Quarters project. Latest task was measuring the existing foundation and remaining wall structure with a view to providing a scale drawing. Once that's complete, we can formulate a plan to build a new structure within the old foundation in order to create a Docent Centre. This would be an off-the-grid structure to that will be avaialable for volunteers to spend time on the island, greet visitors and tell the story of Yorke Island. We also shoveled more dirt out of the basement, estimates are that the dirt digging is about 10% complete. We are currently looking for volunteers for the following:
1. Dirt diggers! (next trip is yet to be scheduled)
2. Architect
3. Filtered water system designer
4. Solar panel designer
5. Waste material designer
6. Construction estimator
7. Financial supporter (Currently working on a zero balance budget)
