Chelan Special Needs Resources | Ridgeview Place at Lake Chelan

1st of March Update on Ridgeview Place in Chelan!

There is lots of news on our Ridgeview Place project in Chelan!

Construction first, cabinets and flooring are going in inside and finish carpentry is getting started. The exterior siding is being completed and paint will start soon after that. The weather should soon cooperate to allow us to finish the slab for the shop area and dig in the sewer connection. It could have an occupancy permit in May! We are even ordering furniture.

This is turning into a home with incredible spaces in one of the most stunning settings in the country!

Here are some photos:

Boxes of cabinets about to be installed.

We still have snow on the ground, and great views from the great room at Ridgeview Place.

Progress looks like this in construction!

On other fronts, we have some interested families that we have started talking with about possibly participating in the project. We have drafts being done of the much of the associated paperwork.

The vocational side of the project is growing at an incredible pace and is on track to meeting our financial goals for it.

It is an exciting time for this project as it all begins to come together!!

Merry Christmas from Ridgeview Place in Chelan!

Electrical and framing are basically complete. Next comes insulation and sheetrock. I expect next year we will have real holiday decorations in place this time of year!!

Save

Windows, doors, plumbing and a roof this week!

What a fun and beautiful place this is becoming! I am excited.

Let me know if you want a tour.

Framing the lower floor is moving right along…

Here are a couple of photos from framing all the way back from Monday. The internal walls are probably about done now. Also, power and sewer connections have been brought on site. Next week, more framing and the extension of the water main, fire hydrant and water line.

Slab is poured, Lumber on Tuesday and Framing on Wednesday!

The slab was poured today. 43 cubic yards of fun! Some additional footings for posts will be poured Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday, lumber arrives and on Wednesday the framing crew starts.

The latest construction photos show the foundation work nearly done

The foundation is back filled and preparation for the slab is nearly complete. Some plumbing needs to be added, and then the slab can be poured. After that, wood should start going into the air!

Meanwhile, things like water, power, etc are being worked on to be brought up to the project.

Here are photos from this morning:

Getting ready for footings

Construction is Underway!

Here is what was happening at the Ridgeview Place site today. Actual construction!

New web site on housing for adults with Autism, Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities

The Autism Housing Network‘s goal is “Bringing together the best ideas in housing for adults with autism and  other intellectual / developmental disabilities.” That is does a great job of and it includes listings for housing options that are both available now and in building and planning stages.

It is a very well done web site. Check it out: http://www.autismhousingnetwork.org/

Our Autism Speaks House to Home Entry

We entered the HeroX, Autism Speaks House to Home Prize and all entries were due just before midnight, March 1, 2016. Wish us luck!

Since I think folks might find it interesting, here is our 10, or so, page entry: Ridgeview Chelan House to Home Entry.

I think it gives the best description of the project that has been available so far.
