Workday is scheduled for Saturday, September 7, 2024

A workday is scheduled for Saturday, September 7th starting at 8:30 a.m. We are planning on working on the club house and workshop project. We only have about l6 feet of wall and ceiling left to finish which will allow us to start planning how to setup the inside of the container making the space usable. Bring cordless tools, knee pads, lunch, plenty to drink, and a great sense of humor. The weather is supposed to be in the low 80’s which is so much better than the summer heat we’ve been having.

Please note that scheduled workdays are subject to change.

April 1st through 5th - Weekday Workdays Planned

For the first time in forever a weekday workday is planned for the week of April 1st. The plan at this time is to work on the club house and workshop project. We are planning on building some internal walls with insulation in order to complete the installation of the electrical panel. Anyone available for any part of the week is welcome. This will provide our next major step in making the space usable in 2024.

Our next big workday is planning for Saturday, March 23rd. We have a couple of items planned and could use as many hands as possible. The plan is to finish the retaining wall, ballasting and gauge water line track, and more.

We are also looking for a few volunteers to work on cleaning out and organizing the grey container before our first public run day event. If you are available this Saturday or anytime between now and April 6th to work on the grey container please let us know.

Unplanned Workday scheduled for Saturday, March 16th starting at 8:30 a.m.

We have an unplanned workday planned for this Saturday, March 16th. Because of some unexpected progress on the retaining wall project during the week a group is planning on being at the site on Saturday to finish the installation of the wall. We will need help with bringing dirt and gravel over to the new wall in order to bring the ground up and fix some areas that show signs of washing out. If you have a wheelbarrow and shovel, please bring them so we can have multiple ways to get dirt from the pile to the retaining wall.
