other project from Mack, since I think the heptagons aren;t going to take our entire crew:
Copy code
Other request from our wedding in one month is to give the bear mountain ceremony site a spruce up. 
Ripping the existing haybales apart to scatter them / compost. 
Ladder + scrape off old paint 
New coat of white paint on the vertical structure. 
In the event a person or two from your crew wants to tackle something separately.
So if you don’t have/want power tools, bring clothes you can paint in. Or paint naked!

haha ripping haybales sounds fun (i'm allergic tho) scraping paint can be fun as long as you aren't a perfectionist and use caulk to fill the gaps new coat on white paint on there is a solid work weekend activity. Not especially fun, but not too hard and clear contribution. Can be done all manner of twisted, so long as you take a look at it for half an hour the next day.
Wanna send this one out on the email thread, since maybe someone is reading that but this seems to be very few (thanks glen and girts!)

I will once I have a few more deets
like the lumber plan
’cause that’s like 17 2x6s
I could get some, but I don’t think I can carry all of them on my car…that’s ~500 lbs of wood.
and I won’t be in Laytonville early enough on Friday to get wood locally. So either we have to get it piece-meal on the way and drive it up on our cars….or we have to go Saturday first thing

what about the existing 4' boards? i thought we were going to try to use those mostly
if it's fresh wood we should paint it or something. How about we build it and then someone paints it when it's done? It'll look better than fresh wood. You know, old wood can be a look, and painted or stained is good. But fresh from lumber yard is not a good look.

Couple of thoughts on that – 1. I don’t think we have enough. If we do, it’ll be close, and it would suck to run out. 2. It’s in poor shape, and if we’re going to be doing this much work, let’s make something that lasts 3. New wood is like $200. If Mack doesn’t want to spend this much on an art piece, I’m fine paying for it myself 4. We can use the old wood as decorative elements.
Well, pre-treated wood looks a little better…
but we can paint it, sure. 7 segments makes me think of the colors of the rainbow. Although only 6 are visible, but indigo is bullshit anyway.
and my $0.02 is that it’ll look better in “wood”

Agree. Wedding people don’t want colors that they don’t pick themselves. “Wood” is a very good color, and we can just seal it.

Do we need to seal PT wood?

PT works. We don't have to seal it. New wood we do have to carry, but it's not nearly as far as last time. 🐴

Is a corded drill useful? Otherwise have variety of hand tools, but not sure what is most needed to pitch in? Thoughts?
Cheap paint brushes maybe?

@strong-policeman-36797 Corded not good. I’m bringing a corded chopsaw and a genny, but it won’t be running all the time. Paintbrushes good, if you have some tools to strip paint that might be helpful

@strong-policeman-36797 - do you have any landscaping tools like rake? I think making better lake access points is a really good thing to do up there and is mostly "clear a little path, make some rope/thing to help ppl get down, have a little flat space/dirt/platform by the water"

@cool-pizza-44770 Alas, no. Not much use for such things in high rise condo.

I have a rake that I can bring!
I also have a shovel. Do we need that? We have a mini patio on the ground level which is why these items are available.

If you have room. All these tools exist at MM. Most important thing to bring is GLOVES. And closed-toe shoes. There’s lots of poison oak if you’re going to be doing any “gardening” out there.
