9/06/08 Some progress shots around the resort AND the 2010 second model is underway

The decorative fencing is being installed around the recreation / picnic area

The forever wild area must be separated from the guest areas

The fence will provide security and safety for the new area

The fence is an updated (aluminum) style similar to what is around the Volcano pool

The form for the floor of the new gazebo is in place

This grass area is outside the public area and meant only as a transition to the forever wild area

The transition area outside the picnic area

We move to the Cafe where the walls are getting their bright colors

A little fog on the lens on this one (or Gaston was in too much of a hurry for the next shot and blurred it) but you see the various colors being used

Yes the orange is VERY bright

And our very first look at the second 2010 model unit. Here the B side gets a new granite tub surround

Ditto the B side shower

The second bath in the A side 2 bedroom also gets granite

As does the master bath in the A unit

And the new doorway gets framed / drywall on the A side bath (yes, all three bath rooms will now have doors)

The unit has been totally gutted to allow the major construction required. It is anticipated that once the actual units are underway they will need the same level of strip down. The time required may mean a 4 phase process to complete in 2010/11 rather than the 3 phases utilized in 2004/5.

The resort is once again under a threat of a major storm event early next week. More updates in photos as they are available.
