Once the main timber frame was complete, Andrew and his helper got on the roof to install the copper drip edge, ice & water shield, and the cedar shake roofing. While the roofing was going on, Bob and his helpers installed the walls and bench seating.
In preparation for the ribbon cutting ceremony, the original signage was put back in place and a custom fabricated compass rose, provided by The Nature Conservancy, was inlayed on the floor. Everyone present, including Senator Mark Warner and his wife Lisa Collis, were in awe of the completed structure and astounding view.
As an aside, Andrew Watkins would like to thank and extend his gratitude to The Nature Conservancy for granting the opportunity to oversee and contribute to the construction of this pavilion. It was here that Andrew fell in love with Bath County over 20 years ago.
