Ok, we are back, we promise we will be a little better at keeping the blog updated, we have been really busy with people in the last three weeks. First we had Vanessa's father and uncle come down for a building blitz. They really helped us out in forming the large building into all of the future communal rooms we will need for our station. All of the rooms have been partitioned off, so the old restaurant will now consist of a storage room and laundry room for our personal things, an office for the project, a lab with scopes, aquariums etc, one large room for students to chill out in and this room will also serve as a presentation hall, a second large room for dining, a small library, a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a change room and a shower for the kitchen staff. Finally a large space has been reserved outside for a large outdoor patio and a place to string hammocks! It does not look like much right now but we are in the process of closing off the partitions. Before I go on, the whole Ecorana team, Vanessa, Mathieu, Eva, Diesel and Big O, thank Chris and Clark for all of their great work and effort in making this project actually happen!

Overlapping with Chris and Clark, was my cousin Jeremie, once the wall partitions were up, we had the electrician come in and help us wire the place up. While it is not complete, much still needs to be done, he installed some very needed lights and fans and installed the wiring between the walls with Canadian standards. Now we are another step from getting this big momba buidling in a fonctional station. We thank Jeremie for all of his good work on the station!

Eva wanted to help too! Better put on your safety goggles Babygirl!
Ok, next step was the visit of Vanessa's friends Courtney and Gord from Vancouver, as well as my former Master's supervisor Dr. Diamond and his wife Dorothy, who came to start the biology component of this station, the actual reason we are here! So stay posted, more good stuff to come soon!
Sincerely,
The Ecorana Team
