Re: Ground maintainance area
Plenty of shifting shit loads of, well shit around under that stand today (BTW c'mon you flag & banner boy's, whose been stashing over 18's reading & picture material behind tins of paint
)
Everything went pretty well & two bay's of what will eventually be a general workshop & a welding & hotwork type area were cleared of junk, trouble is we now need rid of the shit loads of rubbish. (I haven't damaged any of the flags or banners) Does anyone have any contacts with some skip company that might do it as a favour? can anyone provide a trailer to help get shot of it?
I have Capman & an owner of a local building company coming down sometime next week to look at the concreting problem. An electical guy will be looking at what he can do regarding lighting & sockets but on top of what I posted previously we are looking for something solid to use as a worktop, it'll have to be to a total length of 4-5 metre's. Whether this is wood or an old kitchen worktop it doesn't really matter.
We also need people to help shift all the rubbish, not a nice job but still needs doing.
The next planned visit will be next Friday afternoon, if you can help out please PM or post on here.
I'll keep you updated on any other items we might need help with.

I can do next Fri afternoon to help with the rubbish but not sure how u get a Navarra into Barrow tip as South Lakeland don't allow it in as they class it as a commercial vehicle ( any info or thoughts for Barrow tip )

Re: Ground maintainance area
Thanks for that Steve, if you can PM me your reg I'll see if we can get one of them permits that allow for "non-profit making" use of the tip.
A donation of a wheelbarrow would be a great help off anyone.
Still plenty of things to go at, we all wanted this sort of thing in the summer - time to prove we can do it when needed. Keep them offers coming in.

Re: Ground maintainance area
Can you please read my original list of things still needed + these, we really are struggling for some of the things I thought would be the easy ones to sort.
A wheelbarrow.
Some form of work-top, wood, plywood, old kitchen work-top (desperate for this one)
One of them plug in work spot lights would be handy, even if it's just to borrow.
Any lengths of wood 3x2 or larger so that we can use them for supports for the shelves.
Plywood for the shelves
Rawl bolts.
There are loads of things that we must all have lying around the shed or garage that we no longer use, please drop me a PM or reply on here if you have anything that we could make use of.

Re: Ground maintainance area
Has anyone got a roof rack or small van that would be able to pick up a couple of lengths of timber on Friday afternoon & drop them off at the ground? They're approximately 9 foot long & for the maintainance area.
The pick up will be from the Barrow area.

Re: Ground maintainance area
I've got a reasonable wheelbarrow you can have - one of those steel-made builders type. It's seen a bit of action but still has plenty of service in it. I'll send you a PM.
It all comes 'round again.

Re: Ground maintainance area
Last stab at this one.....can anyone help out? Tomorrow sometime would be ideal so long as we can let Oldtimer know an approx time to see if he's available.spirit of 1990 wrote:Has anyone got a roof rack or small van that would be able to pick up a couple of lengths of timber on Friday afternoon & drop them off at the ground?

Also still after anyone who can do a run or two to the tip with a boot full of rubbish. We'll be there from 1-1:15 pm.

Any chance of you helping out with the staging planks tomorrow (Friday) or perhaps even try one run to the tip & see what happens.

Re: Ground maintainance area
I will be able to transport the planks tomorrow afternoon but I don't finish work till 3.15pm, if thats any good.spirit of 1990 wrote:spirit of 1990 wrote:Has anyone got a roof rack or small van that would be able to pick up a couple of lengths of timber on Friday afternoon & drop them off at the ground?

Re: Ground maintainance area
Does this mean there will be no ground redevelopment then? Can't see the board allowing this (the ground redevelopment area) to take place if there was to be large-scale redevlopment.

Re: Ground maintainance area
Thanks very much for the offer but someone has PM'd me & could possibly be picking them up earlier.jcubb wrote:I will be able to transport the planks tomorrow afternoon but I don't finish work till 3.15pm, if thats any good.
Would there be any chance of PM'ing me a contact number just in case?
