Campers On Mission Project
End of Project Report
May 26, 2018
We finished the Carson Springs project about 4:30 PM yesterday (Thursday May 22), literally
as their cleaning crew were moving in. Over the past three weeks, 19 COM
members from TN, SC, AL, and GA put in more than 1420 hours to rebuild the
interior of a lodge with 7-bedrooms, 4-baths, plus entry and kitchen. In
addition, several trustees from the local county jail helped handle heavy
materials and primed most of the interior walls. We were unable to complete
installation of carpet tiles and baseboard. These will be completed after
the busy summer season concludes. It was an exhausting but fulfilling three
weeks and our work was greatly appreciated by the director and staff at
Carson Springs who fed us well each day at lunch. This group had a big
appetite!!
Here are the attached BEFORE and AFTER photos.
