Interesting Case Study

I found this article interesting in relation to many themes that come up at our website: Rising From The Ashes: Restoration Begins At LDS Ranch At Warm Springs

For example,

“In the past, life was a little different,” [Area Director of LDS Facilities Mark] Waite said as he noted evidence of old Eagle Scout projects of the past embedded in the infrastructure of the property. “You could come out and just put something in with whatever supplies had been donated for that purpose. We used to have every different PVC pipe that you can imagine running out here. People would just come out on a Saturday and run a water line as a project. We don’t do those kinds of things anymore.”

Nowadays the key improvements to the area will be done uniformly and up to the appropriate code using a qualified contractor, Waite said. Of course, that requires more time and it costs more money than using volunteer labor. So the entire area will not be able to be restored at once with the initial insurance settlement funding.

The facilities will be better constructed, but that reflects a narrow vision of their purpose.
