Dismantling the Old Nature Center

Before we begin this story…

We would like to thank Tim and Tom Lefeber who volunteered to dismantle the old nature center building. We are so very grateful for what they did. The time they spent, their labor, their equipment, and their humor is something we will not forget!

THANK YOU!

Tim Lefeber and his fraternal twin, Tom

The Old Nature Center

The cupolas and Garage door have to be removed.
The Sign will be moved and put on the new Nature Center, and what is inside removed.

Inside of Building Cleaned Out

The cabinets will be removed and reused.

Removing the Cupolas

Ready for Deconstruction
No cupolas, no garage door, and no sign
And Now It Starts…

Using the skid steer, Tim begins by removing shingles and loading them into a dumpster.

One more scoop or two and it is gone….
But Wait, There is More….

In addition to the removal of the building, we were so fortunate to have Dan Hansen volunteer to take the old garage door (poor condition) out of the garage and put the garage door that was removed from the nature center in its place. He also fixed a few pieces of siding on the garage in addition to helping Tim finish the project. Scroll down to see Dan at work…

Thank you, Dan, for your work in helping to make the Nature Center look great. 
Your talent was needed and appreciated! Thank you for volunteering!

To Dan, Tim, and Tom – THANK YOU for all you have done!
