Help us get the Cain Café kitchen ready for winter.
As Mount Cain prepares to welcome a new Café contractor this season, the Lodge Café kitchen needs a makeover and a few practical upgrades.
Paul DenHaan is organizing two work-party weekends and is looking for at least three more volunteers to help complete the project.
November 14 and 15: Painting Project
The first weekend will focus on preparing and painting the Café kitchen.
Tasks will include:
- Removing shelving
- Removing the old sinks and cabinet
- Moving appliances
- Cleaning and preparing surfaces
- Patching holes
- Caulking trim
- Painting the walls and ceiling
If you can paint, clean, prep surfaces, move equipment or generally lend a hand, Paul would be glad to hear from you.
November 21 and 22: Sink Replacement
The second weekend will focus on finishing the upgrades and putting the kitchen back together.
Tasks will include:
- Completing any remaining painting
- Moving plumbing for the new sinks
- Installing new sink cabinets and sinks
- Cleaning the work area
- Reinstalling appliances and shelving
Volunteers with plumbing, carpentry, painting or renovation experience would be especially helpful, but you do not need specialized experience to join the work party.
Accommodation Available
On-mountain accommodation is available for volunteers participating in the work parties.
The Café kitchen is the priority. If extra volunteers come out, there are other pre-season projects available around the mountain.
If you cannot make these dates but would like to help with future projects, Paul can also add you to the Mount Cain work-party volunteer email list.
