In addition to the minor repairs On the Texas Speleological Center, I think we should consider if we want to put wood firing strips on the concrete walls for sheetrock. Foam insulation could be put between the strips. Sheetrocking the ceiling would not only make the space look finished, but is recommended for suppression of fire. If we don't do this before we fill the basement, it will never happen. ---- Joe & Evelynn via Texascavers <texascavers@texascavers.com> wrote: > A big thank you to the Bexar Grotto for the generous donation of $5000 to the > new Texas Speleology Center!
The Bexar Grotto is also challenging other grottos around the state to contribute and try to meet or beat their contribution. There have been a number of offers and requests over the past week to provide items or store materials at the new facility, and unfortunately we can’t accommodate those at this time. While we appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, we still need to setup a management team for the property, help Bill Mixon sort through and remove his items, conduct some minor repairs on the property, determine the space needs for TSS and TCMA and figure out where everything goes, then establish a use plan for the property so that we can both meet the needs of cavers and provide a professional-type space for the Texas caving organizations. Thank you!
