Construction of washrooms begins

Because the new washroom/shower building was less than 150 square feet in area (see the floor plan, PDF), Naturist Legacy Inc. did not require a building permit (PDF) from the RM of Brokenhead. I hand selected and hauled almost all of the lumber from Winnipeg to Naturist Legacy Park. My wife and I began construction in early August. We carefully placed and leveled foundation blocks, added posts and then floor joists. Work proceeded quickly on the subfloor, walls, rafters and roof when more volunteers joined the build. With some help from a fellow member, we painted the interior shell of the building with two coats of mildew and mould resistant paint. I and a fellow director then framed the partition walls. The installation of windows and doors completed the exterior shell. Exterior painting was up next (siding would be added after our other buildings were finished).
