Ceiling
slats are being installed in the rooms on first floor of cottage
#7. The spacing of the tulip poplar boards dampens the sound
in the room. The brown paint creates a shadow effect in the
gaps between boards. (January 5, 2006)

| The
vaulted ceiling of cottage #3 is completed. The ceiling slats are
made of local tulip poplar lumber and are spaced 3/4 inch apart
for acoustical purposes. (December 29, 2005) |
