Batfish Work Day, Saturday July 12th
« on: July 05, 2008, 10:35:07 PM »
My wife and I will be there to finish painting the 40mm assuming it doesn't rain...then we plan to remove more decking.

Who else is coming?

I might be able to make it out, but im not sure, with gas so high right now it will be tough, since I came out on the fourth. If I can make it I will let you know.

I'll send out notice to the reenacting crew.  Not sure how many people will commit with one week's notice.  I'll bring my tool box and cordless drill, if we have the drill press and miter saw available.

Is there an acceptabel alternate weekend for anyone?  I won't be available the last weekend in July.

I also need to come down on my one of these wekends to get a few projects completed in time for the VJ Day event.

Oh OH.  I will be here.......  :2funny:

I also advised the volunteers.   We will have John, Joseph, and Josiah, here as well.  C/S kids will be available as gofers and outdoor beutification Spec's.   Expect to see a series of these dates come up until the deck is completed.   Everyone, please keep photo documentation until the project is completed.  I will tyr and have more deck up for next week so we can concentrate on putting down.  I will also have a table saw available as we are definately into the miter saw area.

If they come they come...I don't expect much, we'll do what we can and eventually it will get finished.

Outdoor Beautification Specialists.  :2funny:

Me and Joseph will be there for sure. It's cool, Joseph is really getting into the Sub now that he is learning about it. That and our "Navy" pictures we took.

I hope that the rain holds out.  High will be 92, but overcast skies will help.  It will be fairly windy, too, which is another plus.

It sounds like Roger and I will be the only reenactors there to help.

We have not been able to proced with the deck over the last week.  It has been raining for the past 2 days.     :-X  I also came to the sudden realization that I loose my Creek kids at the end of the month, and we have to negotiate the Wake Vets in less then 2 weeks as well.     It has been a busy week.   

Sorry guys...
