Grandma line workday recap for Saturday, July 13, 2024
What an incredibly hot day unless you were working on the “Grandma” line in the shade. A small crew consisting of John, Brandon, and Robby spent the day working on adding 50 feet to the “Grandma” line as work continues from east to west. The crew took a divide and conquered strategy with each focusing on a certain task of the day’s work. John prepared the forms and delt with the crusher run and gravel that Brandon was bringing over from the gravel pit while Robby worked on installing the track panels. We also had two visitors stop by and joined the club. We look forward to getting to know Bryan and Brooke. Norm also stopped by for lunch and was excited about all of the progress.
Some of you may also remember that earlier in the week a bee’s nest was discovered by the workbench. With help from Wes and John we believe the nest is gone but will continue to monitor over the next week or two to make sure. We will need to clean up the workbench area by clearing all ground debris and other items in order to prevent another ground nest being created.
Our next workday, which is planned for Saturday, July 27th. The plan at this point is to build track panels for the “Grandma” line project and workshop project which will require some help cutting ties, bending rail, and more. We also plan on working on the clubhouse and workshop project. The last few pieces of plywood and insulation needs to be installed and painted. Once completed we can then begin working on the second container, installing the lift, track, and more. More details on this project to follow in the coming days as well.
A few items on the calendar to be aware of includes our August club meeting, Dog Days of Summer Club Fun Day, and various workdays between now and our next public run day in October.
