Cleaning And Hauling Lumber From 705 West Lake Ave To Spencers Creek

WWTC member Kevin Mabon has generously donated weather resistant materials from a deck he’s deconstructing, and we’ve scheduled this work party to remove stubborn hardware, cut away unusable sections and then haul the materials to the GLCT storage area at Spencer’s Creek. We’ll need people to: pull nails from framing hardware, rip or crosscut the rotten sections and load prepped boards into pickup. Then we’ll need a crew to follow and unload the truck. Useful tools to bring are: Gloves, Manly claw Hammers, Crow’s foot nail pullers. (A flat bar doesn’t really cut it, it’s too thick to get under the nails), Pickup truck (we only need one … please contact Paul if you can bring your’s), Vise grips, impact driver with T30 bit for pulling screws. Please meet us at Kevin’s house at 705 West Lake Ave (Just south of the Kampmeyer Laurel Hollow Drive trail-head, on the east side of West Lake Ave) … there’s room in his driveway for about 5 cars if we park carefully. If it’s overflowing, park on the Kimberly Dr or Partridge Ln side street and walk up. [est 3 hours]
