Hospicare Pavilion

  I was recently asked by good friend and builder extraordinaire, Alan, to help with a building project he was involved with at Hospicare.  Alan spearheads the Infield set-up for GrassRoots and we always do a special project there which has led to many more side projects such as this.
  As with our family's donation of Mary Ellen's Corner at Hospicare, a family who had a loved one there offered to make a donation to fill in a gap in their services.  In this case it was a pavilion near the pond for people to sit outdoors with a roof over their heads.  There are many benches on the grounds, but none sheltered.
  The pavilion was manufactured and assembled in Pennsylvania, then taken apart and brought to Ithaca on a trailer for us to put back together.  We started the process by digging holes for footers and setting the sauna tubes one morning, then the concrete was poured and cut stones attached to the top with re-bar anchored for the posts to sit on.  A couple weeks later the pavilion arrived.
  As is often the case, Andy and Connie were in on this, as well as Eddie.
