Hut maintenance is an important responsibility of the club. This page is intended as a repository of ongoing and needed hut maintenance projects.
Last updated January 2007
Kersosene Heaters
The heaters are dysfunctional. A Coleman lamp was packed out Spring '04 and is sitting in the gear room waiting for somebody to repair it or discard it.
Lanterns
As of January '07, the hut had two functional Coleman lamps and at one functional Coleman stove. There is a reported to be second stove at the hut in need of repair that leaks gas, but it could not be found. Maybe it was in the basement. Both lanterns need new globes (1 is totally smashed, the other is cracked) and new mantles (supply exhausted). The lanterns are Coleman model # 288.
Toilet Seat
Hinges are broken, and could use repair. Outhouse is still functional however.
Missing Pots & Pans
No pots and pans are in the hut, only a frying pan.
Door
The door to the hut is swollen from moisture and is really hard to close. Easy hand planer job needed. The outhouse door has the same problem but is not nearly as bad.
Harrison Hut Door, paint and steps
The Harrison Hut needs a new door, steps, and more paint. Roland Burton is presently coordinating repair efforts. The door is already flown in, but needs to be installed. We could make some steps out of stones, or not. The paint is up there, we need a nice day for painting. This should all be done while Frank is offering us helicopter rides into the Hut, as there may be no other way to get there now the bridge across Meager Creek is gone.
Hut Libraries
The club strives to keep libraries of the VOC Journal, and editions of the VOC Songbook in each hut. A list of vaccancies that need to be filled follows. Please add to these lists if you find any ommissions when you visit a hut, or remove them if you happen to find a particular journal at a hut.
