BUILD DAY
April 23, 2023 @ 10:00 - 17:00
Our first Build Day of 2023!
Today will be focused on working on Pallet Fort, and cleaning up that area. So the plan for today is:
-
-
- Busting pallets
- Screwing slats to the framing.
- Cleaning up all the trash, broken wood pieces, anything that could cause tetanus, etc.
- Building better tire walls on either side of the OP Wall.
- Move the roofing metal to Outpost Omar.
-
All wood scrap will be moved to the fire pit in front of the house and neatly stacked.
Remember, gang, the Pallet Fort and field are the very first things that people see upon entering the “hot zone” on the field… we want this shit to look nice.
What you can bring:
-
-
- Cordless drill with a #2 phillips head (multiple if you break them as often as I do), and as many extra batteries that you have, as well as your battery charger.
- Crowbar and or cat’s claw, if you have them.
- Usual construction tools like hammers, saws, whatever you think might be beneficial.
- We will have a “charging station” set up… basically an industrial power strip that people can plug their chargers into.
-
The field is going to be WET, so muck boots, galoshes, wellies, gum rubbers, swampers, etc., are recommended. At the very least, work boots. We’ll do up a 5-gallon water jug, but please think to bring a bottle of water with you that you can continue to top off during the day.
-
-
- Students: yes, I will email your advisor and tell them that you did your work thing.
- Reminder: a day of work earns you a day of play (you still need to pay rental fees as applicable).
- We will feed you, but after the work is done.
-
If everyone can RSVP, that would be fantastic, so we know how much ketchup to buy.
If you get here late, we’ll be at Pallet Fort. Come on down and get your work face on.
Thank you!
