Thanks to Lindsay. She has been working her ass off, sanding and sanding and sanding, while Mitch runs around and does his ‘Mitch Jobs.’ 
Please note the dust and lack of proper sanding equipment. Anybody else want to come down and work for free? Honestly, a huge improvement — thanks for the initiative and smile.

looking good lindsay
Can you please tell me why this is called the Scorup House?
Wow lindsay! Great job! I had no idea you were down there! Al Scorup was the man who had built the house. It was one of the few stone houses in Bluff, meaning it was much more costly. He earned his money by rounding up runaway cattle on horseback and turning them in for money.
The Scorup House is our dorm / HQ. It was built in 1905ish by John Albert Scorup, known in local stories as the perfect model of the Mormon Cowboy. Scorup and his family are tied to the history and cattle wrangling tradition of Bluff, the Dugout Ranch, all of SE Utah. The house has been occupied for a long time and is locally also known as the Nielsen House, or where the crazy architects live.
