We continued to work on repairing and repainting the interiors of the Haines Street cottages in Port Townsend. These are seven small houses owned by the Olympic Community Action Program (OlyCAP) and used as temporary shelter for people in need. Ken Winter, Jim McKay, George Ansley, Mel Morris, Bud Schindler and Myron Vogt finished of the fourth cottage in early March. The fifth cottage is scheduled for the end of March. We will probably finish the last two cottages in April and May. If funding is approved, we will do a second round of improvement in the cottages by installing new flooring. Completion of this task should take us into the fall of this year.

Here is a view of a Bedroom of the current cottage before starting the final painting.
