Brew Hut Rebuild

Brew Hut Rebuilding Committee Minutes

==Salvageable Materials== from existing Hut

8 2x10 beams in good condition - 14 1/2 feet long
ladder is good - 26 inches wide by 99.5 inches tall made of 2x6 tongue and groove
2x6 tongue + groove boards - perhaps 50% of siding boards in existing hut are salvageable. Tongue + groove boards on upstairs floor are poor. These boards have already been salvaged once, so they are in short lengths and will be full of nail holes. Tongues + grooves may become damaged during removal.
All plywood (exterior and floor) is heavily damaged.
Hut furniture is crude, with the exception of one nice cooking bench.
3 of 8 laminated beam segments are cracked. Each beam is approx 2 1/4 inches * 6 inches.
miscellaneous 2x8 and 2x6 boards in good shape, but already cut to short lengths.

The idea here is to establish snow accumulation patterns in the area. Any data, even annecdotal, is welcome.

April 1st, 2003 -- Snow up to the top of the roof at Brew hut. Less than 1m of snow at microbrew.
November 14, 2004 -- 1.0m in drift near Brew Hut, no snow at microbrew (scoured by steady 60km/h winds), 50-60cm at Brew Lake. Light winds at brew hut (sheltered from trees) and in brew lake basin.

A new trail may be part of the plan for the new hut. See the wiki page for New Brew Trail
