Chimp House Progress!

Our Director of Operations, JB Mulcahy, traveled from New York to spend a week to work on both the Chimp House and his own housing.  (We can’t wait for him and Diana to be here permanently!)  While he was here, we were joined by a crew of very talented and hard working individuals and owe a big thank you to long-term friends and volunteers Jim Green and Curtis Strain, Keith’s cousin Chad Radel, Keith’s uncle Jim Radel, (both drove from Minnesota to help) and friend John Samaras for their hard work and excellent craftsmanship.We were able to install all the remaining caging, the decking for the chimpanzees’ platforms, new food delivery systems, the framework for a playroom bridge, as well as hang all the exterior siding and break ground on the outdoor play area.  The speed of construction was beyond all expectation.  Pictures are worth a thousand words so I have attached a few.  Click each picture for a bigger image as well as a written description of what you’ll be seeing.  Keith
