TAJ FINALLY HAD TO GO...

Taj as you know it is now a bunch of rubble and old logs that will used in next summer’s campfires.  The building gave us great service and memories for almost 70 years but the termites and the age were finally too much.  As you can see from the photo, the demolition was pretty cool to see!  We took video of it and plan to provide a link to that footage in a web newsletter sometime soon. Yes, that is Kim taking the first swing.

The new and improved Taj has already been designed and construction will start soon.  It will be a similar log building but will have a wrap around porch, more room for the library, and just be better for getting your mail and everything else you do there.
