Illiniwek - Work Days - Sat. 11/15 @ 9am & Sun. 11/16 @ 11am

[DH001]

Saturday 11/15
Posts are being delivered for the new structures on Saturday morning at 9 am to the upper south lot. We need a few (4-5) people to help unload them. The 6x6x16 posts are 190 lbs a piece. Plan on spending around an hour to get this done. Bring your bikes and we can ride afterwards.

Sunday 11/16
Sunday the plan is to transport posts to the work site, haul in gravel, dig holes, and set posts. Scott Schnaufer from B&B Cyclery is donating a rental gas powered post hole auger to do most of the digging. Some of the holes will need to be enlarged with the manual digger. We are starting at 11:00 am on Sunday and meeting in the upper south lot by the salt dome.

Tools:
A wheelbarrow, clam shell style manual post hole digger (PHD), and a few shovels will be needed. I will bring shovels and have one PHD. Bring more PHDs to make the work go faster. We will also need one or two wheelbarrows for moving the gravel.

The ground may start freezing next week and the goal is to have all the posts installed before that happens.
