course workdays and improvement thread

[Lala]

TOmorrow at around 6:30 me and Goblin are going to Timmy's jobsite to pick-up the rebar and some screen with a trailer. We need to get it before it disappears. Who can skip the mini and meet us at my house to go pick it up?

If we're not able to pick these items up today, it is most likely that they will walk off the job site on there own. We're talking about $1500 (that we don't have) worth of steel. This is not a 2 man load & unload with Ed's $3000 back. This will not happen without help. Anyone able to pitch in on this today? It also looks like the pour date will have to move as well. Saturdays just don't happen with the company that's donating the truck & concrete. Wednesdays may be changing to 5 hour work days if this is going to come together.

everyone owe's Edman and Goblin a HUGE THANK YOU for getting some of the material last night..

Thank you

[Lala]

Thanx to Edman & G for all the hard work on this project. I'd like to see a few others that say they'll help any time start helping when we're asking for help.

[vinnie]

Thanks ed and goblin!
You guys are the bomb

[bigbadude]

So next wed. work on the tee boxes, I'm helping.

[vinnie]

Ed and goblin have a plan. I sure we will hear it soon.

[edman]

Last night we(me, Goblin, Hellman)were able to get enough screen to do all 19 boxes. Goblin will be bringing the rebar little by little, we just had to get the creen before someone else took it.

Keith, still waiting to hear from you on the rest of the lumber, I know you are waiting to here from your boss so just let Gob know how it is going. We shouldn't need nearly as much since we are doing 2 pour days, check with Goblin to make sure we can re-use the first 10.

The first workday at the park will be April 7, our goal that day will be to set half of the forms, the boxes will be scraped by then. If we can get a good showing we can start early and be done in time to make Ricky's party. If we don't get a good showing of folks than I'll just go out to John's and burn the palce down, just kidding.
Bring shovels, rakes and any garden tools that you think will be helpful.
From there we pour those boxes on Wednesday the 11th, so sorry to say no golf that night, your score will be how hard you worked and we'll payout the top third as usual. We have the truck scheduled to be there at 3, so please start making plans to be there. We figured it would take 20 mins a box, that's if we can pull some strings with the city to get a bobcat to run crete to boxes the truck can't drive to. So that puts us at 3 hours and 30 minutes, we'll have to work fast to keep up with the truck. If we don't get the bobcat we'll have to wheelbarrow some of it. I'll keep you all in the loop on how that is developing. Pray for bobcats, everybody pray.
From there we should be able to re-use those forms and set them on the 14th, to be ready to pour on the 21st.
So that's the plan, rain would be about the only thing that would keep us from getting the crete on those scheduled days, but I'm not worried about that because I can only remember 2 times we didn't play on Wednesday's because of rain. The Double R and the city is counting on huge support from it's members on these workdays, I realize everybody can't make it all 4 workdays, so let's just make sure we have enouogh to do what we need to do on any given day.

[seewhere]

count me in for all the days. I also have 2 buckets we can use for water. I will also bring some beer for the WORKERS after we pour the first set of boxes.

[seewhere]

the club will get pizza delivered to the park on Wed the 7th and also will bring some beer to go with the pizza. now we need a strong showing from the members!!!


DOUBLE R ROCKS

[may]

My boss has agreeded to donate the other 13-boxes which is 39-more 2x6x10's. From what I am hearing, we don't need that many since we are going to be re-using some.? My question is, how many more 2x6's or tee pads do yall think we really need as I can p/u tomorrow and drop at Goblin's casa. If we don't need all of the remaining 13, what do we need.?? Someone let me know before 11:00 am tomorrow and I will deliver in the pm to Goblin

[edman]

Keith I need you to communicate with Goblin on this, I can't nor can anyone else but Goblin make that decision. He will know if those forms can be re-used. Call him, take the lead oh mighty king of budweiser.

[may]

Cool, what's his number??

[may]

Left a message with Goblin, just waiting on his response!!

[mware]

Count me in... Maybe I missed it but do we have the 4 work dates??? I saw the 7th - so that will be Saturday (maybe out of town for Easter) - we planning on working Wednesday the 4th - if so, I am there....

[mware]

Sorry Edman - after reading your post a bit more closely I see:
4/7 - Set Forms
4/11 - Pour / Concrete Truck there at 3PM
4/14 - Set Forms

Do we have other times we want people to show up at?

[mikeharrell]

is those dates right? TWC is the 21st right.

[may]

Have not heard back from Goblin, and due to major storms possible this afternoon, will probably just drink cfo's and deliver early next week. Left two messages yesterday so hopefully he is thinking about what we need. for next saturday.

[seewhere]

ok so this Saturday is the first workday right? I will be there as long as I dont have to go to houston for family easter. will know my status later this week. for sure count me in for the other 3 days and I looked I have 1 big bucket we can use.

[vinnie]

cool to hear.....And we will need everyone....I know folks will have other things to do...... And I ain't trying to point fingers or single anyone out. Keep in mind when make decisions
Yard work will be there next week,Easter will happen next year, and the world will turn.............
The chance to have tee boxes at the Rock is a one time shot.
Someone talk to Russel and Ronnie....them guys WILL be needed.

[may]

Russell will be out of town for Easter with his wife's family.
Ronnie said if he comes home this weekend he be there to help. Dropped off the other forms to Goblin this am. I'll be there saturday and may bring BIG RED with me. What time on saturday morning??

[Lala]

With Easter Sunday coming, the city doesn't want 10 holes through out the park for children to hurt themselves in. We will still have the Saturday workday, but the city will not have scraped the boxes until Monday the 9th.
10-15 workers to meet at the Rock (hole 14)this Saturday @ 9. We'll split up to mark the course, go to job site, & get rebar (1 more truck needed) & get supplies.

Main work days (updated 4/2 @ 9:30 pm)

Monday 4/9 set forms @ 4:00
Tuesday 4/10 set forms @ 4:00
Wednesday 4/11 pour holes 17-8 @ 3:00
Saturday 4/14 set forms on 9-16 @ 9:00
Wednesday 4/18 pour holes 9-16@ 3:00

This is alot happening very quickly, but I know we can pull this off as a club. Double R Rules! Saturday we should be off to the party about noon if everyone shows up & pitches in. Yoshi, Edman & I will bring the 2 mach 3's when we come to the party on Saturday. Be well Ricky Wright.

[seewhere]

sounds like a plan. will we be taking the rebar and other material to your house or goblins until the 9th?

[edman]

We will be taking the rebar back to the park and putting it in the fenced area off of 4's tee box. We'll send 2 trucks with GOblin downtown to cut and bring rebar back to park and the folks at the park can help unload. We will send trucks to Goblins house to bring all forms to fenced area as well.

[seewhere]

ah ok makes sense.

[vinnie]

ah ok makes sense.

WOW....this is crazy.......but together we will get it done.
whos running TWC

[johne]

Thanks for the update Lala. I like those dates as they coincide with days I don't have family (daughter) committments. I've got a heavy work load right now but damm I will make time to be there on most if not all the dates you posted. Won't be able to make the Rock on weekdays till 4:45ish though.

Like Vinnie said. We need to sieze this opportunity. The biggest variable at this point is manpower. Time to step up.

Let's make sure this gets talked about tomorrow before the mini starts.

[may]

I will be there with Big Red saturday. Would it be wise to stop by Goblins and grab forms on the way to park?? Or do we have a tralior we can use to do this?? Just a thought to save some time.

[edman]

I will have a trailer with me, so no worries. Does anyone know if John Josh's buddy has a bobcat/tractor we could use on pour days?

[may]

Cool, that works!!
