course workdays and improvement thread

[vinnie]

Its time for someone to truely step up..... enough talk!
If we can get 20+ people showing up at 3:00 on a weekend day to play golf, I am confident we can get plenty of man power. What we need is somone to take the horn and lead.
We got the blessing and we have obtained resourse. So we need someone to make sure wire is there, wood is there, man power is there, and the job is done on time.

[vinnie]

IF anyone is interested they will need to meet with Ed and I and we can go over park requirements and resources.
Or call Ed and make the park walk through TODAY.
March 29 parks start the dirt work....if we are not there ready.....we can expect to play in dirt boxes for a long time.

Let see some action.....we are telling everyone we are not going to do it.
Either say you will not do it or that you will do it.
Don't just sit there and read this with nothing to say.

[vinnie]

if you can not respond by the board.....call me 723-9026

March 29th (Thursday) Edman & I fly to El Paso. We will not be there.

This seems as good a thread as any to pose this question. When does the RR club meet and who runs the club? What positions are held in the club and by whom. It is time that I got involved in the RR club and I want to know how the club works.

[vinnie]

meet when needed
We had an offical cabinet, now there is no titles just folks that make it happen.
For sure the coffeys are decision makers and receive input from cware,keith may, myself and .......the membership.
We have a bank account.
April fools is renew time
And yes la la you will be out of town...me too...
So the question was posed ...WHO WANTS TO RUN THIS PROJECT?????
Incert sound of crickets

[vinnie]

sssshhh...and you can hear members posting on other threads....just not this one.
Ed you might as well call me after the walk through

[may]

Just spoke with Goblin and will see if I can p/u the 2x6's tomorrow and deliver to Goblin. Concrete forms (2x6's) are on track. What's next after that?

[edman]

screen and rebar

[may]

Whom is providing that material?

[edman]

us, throw me some $ figures on what it will take, Goblin was originally going to supply free, no can do, too much time has elapsed, we have to buy it now

[seewhere]

has anyone tried to get a hold of ben vallejo maybe he can help

[edman]

he lives in san antonio now, seen him at the ice bowl, Smokin Joe maybe knows how to reach him

[may]

If any one can get Rusty to look at the board he can probably find some around his job site's. You are going to see Rusty this weekend C-Ware, ask him and if he does I can run down south next week and p/u for free. If not we only sell full rolls (150ft) of the wire mesh (high dollar) and not even sure we stock rebar anymore. You can also check with Lowe's Home Depot as they sell it by the foot on the mesh cause we only need 60feet to do 6-boxes. Goblin will have to do the math on the rebar to tell us how many pc (comes 20ft) he needs.

[edman]

Goblin is walking the course tonight with us, maybe he has an ace in the hole somewhere, well I'm sure something's in a hole, anyway sorry to drift. We'll need 1 20ft. piece of rebar per t-box and probably 9ft. of screen per box. Glad to see some action on this and we'll keep all of you lurkers informed. V mentioned something about a Home Depot gift card someone has. Any idea who it was?

[nix]

I will try to be there, but I can't commit- I have no idea what my schedule will be like that day until that day. I am taking off early the next day (March 30th) for the fundraising party for RW.

[edman]

We were able to get out there yesterday and look at the upcoming work. For starters we won't need the rebar, TImmy will be donating all we need from his jobsite. The screen on the other hand we have to get our hands on. We're going to need 200 linear feet of 4 ft. wide screen.
The ball is in Goblins court and he will be leading all work crews, he can't post but can read the board, so please let him know on the board when you are available, he will be contacting you.
The decision has been made to pour all 19 boxes the same day. That date will most likely be the 28th of April. So all forms will have to be laid down in 4 weeks. We will have the concrete truck the entire day. Timmy will be working on getting a bobcat donated for the holes the truck can't drive to.
So the first action item is to go to the park next wed-thurs and mark the first 6 boxes so the city knows where to scrape. It is very likely that nobody will be needed Friday the 30th, but starting the next week is where the members will play there part at setting forms. We will put down 6 forms a week. Goblin will be building forms at his house the whole time. So let him know when you are available to go there and help him. I will keep putting info on the board for all volunteers by Goblins direction.

[vinnie]

this is great news, I will get with the city
They need to know how we are going to get it do.
We need a list of folks who can be there on the 28th. It will take our biggest showing for a work day to pull this off.
It would be niice if we could get someone to head up some food and adult refreshment for the the work day.....that seems to bring everyone out.

[mikeharrell]

i will do the water, beer and sandwiches for the whole day. so since im doing that does that mean i get out of doing the real work.

[vinnie]

Sounds great!
Looks like Athens is that weekend, I had planned to attend but will cancel.
count me in as concrete shoveler.
Eddie said he would help.

[may]

I might be jumping ahead, but I don't think rain, mud and fresh concrete go to well together. In case we get hit like today do we have a make-up date with the city??

[vinnie]

no worky this weekend........
Goblin will be rolling out a plan for a ONE DAY POUR for 19 tee boxes....if we do this ALL the concrete will be FREE!

[seewhere]

has anyone been able to procure some screen?

[edman]

O.K. talked with Goblin last night and here is where we are.

The first 6 forms are made, Keith call Goblin he needs the rest of the wood for the rest of the 13 boxes. As mentioned before all the rebar is covered Timmy has donated it. He has also drummed up enough screen for 15 boxes, we need enough for 4 more he will be giving those totals in the next couple of days.
We will need at least 20 five gallon buckets on pour day, 1 bucket per box to keep wet until they are smoothed. We will need trowels and hoes and any other tools that will be helpful for pour day.
Here is the biggest obstacle for the whole thing. WE NEED 40 PEOPLE THE DAY OF THE POUR. 2 people on each box and couple to run with Goblin to each one to do the finish work. THIS DATE RIGHT NOW IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 28TH. We will start a list tomorrow at the mini of who can committ to doing this. So thanks in advance to everyone that will be there, and I mean EVERYONE.
Things are moving quickly, Goblin isn't messing around with this project, He wants to be done before the heat comes, so let's all do our part and help. The Double R is counting on all it's members to pitch in. We may need some folks this Saturday to start laying forms, I will post later today to firm that up.

[seewhere]

I got 1-2 buckets. count me in for whatever on the 28th.

[vinnie]

this is good stuff!

[johne]

i first played Old Settler's in 96, back when i would play like once every couple of months when I had nothing else to do. Its about time!

Count me in!

I can supply buckets. Home Depot sells them for cheap. I think. (the things they use for shopping baskets)

[edman]

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?

[may]

13-more boxes would be 39 more 2x6x10's. Will get with my boss thursday when he returns and get him to donate 39-more for our boxes.
Can't lift anything heavy due to hernia's but will help with the pouring and deliver the lumber to Goblin's house when I get it approved. Will check with Ronnie to see if we can use his concrete tools for finishing boxes. All this is to be done 4/28 correct??

[vinnie]

4/28 is pour day....20 boxes
I am calling the city to dig 10 boxes at a time starting April 6....Form work (by the club the 7th)
April 13 the city will dig the next 10 boxes....April 14 anothe club form work day.
April 21 &22 (TWC)....maybe some fine tuning of the forms.
April 28.........EVERYTHING POURED!!!!!
