The "Dusty Parrot" Raffle (cont.)
MORE about the rest of this piece:The backer boards are half sawn logs about 2 inches thick, tapered, manicured with sandpaper and all wood is stained & satin poly finish (easy to clean). The signs are custom made, the "Bar" & "Inn" sign is reversible and the lettering is all outline (hard to see in pics.). The nails holding the signs are old cut nails (100+ years old), that I extracted from restoration work that I have done in the past, a little sanding & fresh paint, repurposed! !

Each Vet that stays, draws a silhouette of their hand on the 2x10 inch ceiling joist (above the bunks) and adds their name and date they stayed. The same happens in the main house. This is our raffle program at work.

Backyard Main House
This is the main house on the encampment. All the Vets that come here, stay at no cost to the Veteran. When they go fishing or hunting, W@45N picks up the cost of State license fees, our donations go to all of this.
