Video update on our hurricane-destroyed cowboy town rebuild


Hellbender

Recommended Posts

Here's both the original walk-through of our destroyed cowboy town I had posted back in September 2020 and a walk-through I made just this morning to show y'all the progress we've made so far (yes, I know I say its May 4 in the video but that was a mistake - I took it today, May 5).  

 

We could not have done this without the generous support of a great many folks, and we thank you all!

Looking Good there Hellbender!   Are you guys affected by the lumber price run ups that’s happening?

Thanks Not Dead Ed (and thanks for your support too!).  Oh, yeah we are affected- lumber prices are sky high, but we've got to have it!

It's great to see your cowboy town coming back from the storm! It's a testament you all's love of this sport that you've struggled back from hurricanes, Covid, and ridiculous lumber prices. Cheers!

Looks great!  The new design seems like it will be very efficient.

 

Totes

Thanks Totes! The design is due to both James Moore and Possum Skinner, who I had asked to co-chair our rebuild.  James Moore is currently both the supervisor and the foreman of the work done so far.  Possum is in charge of the inside work, and he, along with Nellie Blue, are currently planning the remaining stages (the cemetery stage design is done, and the interior construction is nearly done - by the way, James Moore was the one who built that loading table coffin and he is working on the other two coffins that will go in there).

Well done Hellbender.  I'm glad to see you guys are building it back even better than before.  Hopefully, I can get back down your way and shoot with you again when you get it done.

You guys have made good progress so far!  I’m sure right now it seems like it’s never going to end, but when it’s all over, you’ll look back and it won’t seem that bad.   A special “atta boy” to Possum and James Moore for not only taking on the rebuild but doing the construction as good as you can get.

Lookin' great Hellbender. Thanks for the video update. It should be a really nice venue when you're finished. Hope the lumber costs come down soon for 'ya.

Thanks Tequila Shooter, we hope you make it here for our "grand opening" whenever that will be.

We'll make it be known far and wide when it happens, but as of right now we really don't have a handle on when that will be :wacko:

any idea when the grand re-opening will be.

 

AD

Not a clue, unfortunately, and I'd hate to venture a guess.  All I know for sure is that it will be a long time from now :(
