This aggressive schedule will allow a shell to be completed before the winter months set in so that work may continue right through the year.

Allegrone have spent time dynamiting apart giant granite boulders and clearing the way for the foundation of our new Dining Hall. Parts of camp were closed during the blasting last week, and the rock has now been cleared. The plan is to build the foundation for the Dining Hall and then construct a shell that would allow the workers to continue constructing through the snowy winter months. This shell will also protect the foundation from the extreme cold.
