So far we have had two small work parties up there. Meghan and Roland (mostly Meghan) hauled in various supplies and materials for the renovation. And Tony, Anne, Roland hauled up the Solar Device, installed double windows, and treated the walls to get the mold off.  We are now ready for the first big reno weekend.


We have already had Round -1, where Meghan and Roland (mostly Meghan) hauled in various supplies and materials for the renovation.
Roland and Scott N both have 4x4's and can shuttle to the end of the road.  


Round Zero will happen the week of June 1st, when four people will go up, haul in various supplies, do work, hang out, etc.  We will post a report here describing what we did and what remains and what needs to be hauled in.
This means the hike in is 3-4km and 500m of elevation gain, almost all of it on a nice trail.

There isn't really anything up at the hut other than shelter - so you'll need to bring food, sleeping bag, stove, etc. (or share with someone who is). See [[Gear_lists#hiking_hut_trip]] for a complete list.
 
The hut is too far away (~450km round trip) to go for just a day, so we'll be up there the whole weekend leaving Vancouver early Saturday and returning late Sunday.  Roland will go up Friday and his passengers are ok with this.

# Clear boulders from the road so it's passable by high clearance 4x4s.  If we drove up Friday evening and camped, we could spend early Saturday morning trundling boulders off the road.  The slide is already barely passable; another hour of work should make it good.
The hut has a nominal capacity of 24.  For this reason I'm going to declare the trip full, unless you have a car in which case we'll make room for you until everybody has rides since people who can't escape Vancouver can't do any useful work.
# Vanquish the mildew. This involves Behr #62 mildew killer and Behr #63 wood preparation concentrate, a scrubbing brush with a long handle, plus maybe rubber gloves.  I think we apply #62 sparingly, then wash it off with clear water from the stream, then apply #63.  Anybody have experience with this?  We have already hauled up the #62, #63, two brushes, and a long handle.
# Double glaze the windows.  We need to haul up some screws and clips for attaching the windows.  We have already hauled in the 40 lbs of Lexan.
# Fix the roof.  The roof already got mostly fixed during a fast-job in the fall.  We've just got to touch it up all the way.  Will involve lots of expanding foam, asphalt caulking, and some Al sheet.
# (possibly) install Roland's Solar Device (TM).  Device is 2' x 8' and weighs 25 lbs.  If we don't have enough spare people to install the solar air heater component, we can at least install the fan component, so that it will be sucking air through the Hut and drying it in preparation for Round 2: painting.  Roland is the Solar Device Committee.

Synopsis

River Crossing
Carrying Heavy Stuff

So far we have had two small work parties up there. Meghan and Roland (mostly Meghan) hauled in various supplies and materials for the renovation. And Tony, Anne, Roland hauled up the Solar Device, installed double windows, and treated the walls to get the mold off. We are now ready for the first big reno weekend.

Roland and Scott N both have 4x4's and can shuttle to the end of the road.

This means the hike in is 3-4km and 500m of elevation gain, almost all of it on a nice trail. If you're in reasonable shape this isn't too strenuous (although, we'll have some things which need to get carried up so you could always make it more strenuous by putting lots of heavy stuff in your pack...).

There isn't really anything up at the hut other than shelter - so you'll need to bring food, sleeping bag, stove, etc. (or share with someone who is). See Gear_lists#hiking_hut_trip for a complete list.

The hut is too far away (~450km round trip) to go for just a day, so we'll be up there the whole weekend leaving Vancouver early Saturday and returning late Sunday. Roland will go up Friday and his passengers are ok with this. He would like to drive back Monday and could swap passengers for the ride back to achieve this. Anybody good to take Monday off?

Directions

Have picked up all passengers and be headed over the Lions Gate Bridge at 6:00 am Saturday.

Drive to the end of the Blackwater Road and the start of Phelix Creek FSR. Directions

2wd drives about 200m up the logging road and parks on the side. Start hiking up, and after another 500m or so you'll hit a landslide where there's an unmistakable pile of boulders on the road. Since driving a 4x4 over the landslide is challenging we'll ferry people up the logging road from the other side of this slide. We'll start ferrying people right away as they arrive, to reduce faff time, but you may have to wait at the slide for a while. We'll choose jobs at the trailhead, somewhat. See you up there!

Date For Round 1

June 13-14.

Optional pre-trip meeting Wednesday June 10th, at the intersection of Tolmie and the ocean (ie. Spanish Banks, frisbee) at 7pm. To do list is here: 2009_Brian_Waddington_hut_renovations

Participants (Car)

The hut has a nominal capacity of 24. For this reason I'm going to declare the trip full, unless you have a car in which case we'll make room for you until everybody has rides since people who can't escape Vancouver can't do any useful work.
