    Default Working on Structures (3/21-22) & Wood Delivery

    Working on the wood berm projects this weekend. Meeting at 9:00 am in the upper south parking lot near the salt dome. These kind of projects tend to be more slow going since the work is specialized and as a result don't require as many people. 6-8 people with some carpentry experience would be ideal. All are welcome however and we can find other things to do if we get too many people.

    Saturday - 3/21

    Continuing work on the laminated berm support beams.

    Tools/items to bring:
    - Clamps: c-clamps and bar clamps are preferable since they have a higher clamping force. Need at least a 5" jaw opening.
    - Impact drivers (have one, one or two more should be enough) Using T25 torx bits, I have a few extras.
    - Small battery operated circular saw (not necessary but would make things easier)
    - Gloves and old clothes you don't mind getting polyurethane glue on. If it does get on you, it takes ~2 days to wear off of skin.


    Sunday - 3/22

    Dependant on how much we get done Saturday. Probably the same plan. I'll post an update Saturday.

    Wood Delivery - Saturday 3/21 @ 2-3 pm
    Monday - 3/23

    The decking wood is being delivered to my house in the late afternoon on Monday Saturday. Will need 4-5 extra bodies to unload the 5000lbs of wood. Don't have a definite time at the moment but will post an update when it's settled. If you are interested and available send me a PM and I'll relay the delivery address.

    The mill is delivering the wood at 2:00 pm on Saturday. Plan is to wrap up the trail day around 1:45, recoup in the upper parking lot for a few minutes, and then drive to my house to unload lumber. Don't forget your gloves!

    We got so much done today that there isn't really much more we can do tomorrow. Besides, it looks like there are some local trails that need riding. We will probably be out a few times in the evening during the week and next weekend if the weather is good. I'll post details.
