Charlie Knapke House—Bathroom Remodel!

February 2012 Update: The bathroom model is complete (minus a few minor details)! The west house now has two bathrooms. The bedroom still has 4 beds for your sleeping comfort. Come check it out! It's not too late to donate to help offset the club's cost of this remodel. See below.



December 2011 Update: Club members have been busy designing, approving, and completing a bathroom remodel in the GMARS west house. The existing bathroom is being redone to better accommodate the needs of its users (you, the club members and visitors) and a WHOLE NEW BATHROOM is being added (technically, it's a half bath but you get the point). The additional bathroom is right next to the existing bathroom and takes up some of the square footage of the bedroom. There's still plenty of room for the 4 beds and an additional cot (if you want to bring one and sleep indoors).

The club can really use your financial support with this project!
