May 5, 2018 Well, some of you
missed an opportunity to start the construction of our grand picnic shelter at
the FNBWA clubhouse. As you can see from the photo, it involves
considerable work. Gary is the "brains" and a lot of the "brawn" behind
the project, but he had two old codgers for helpers, Mark and me. There are ten
12' poles and two 14' poles, all 6" x 6" and treated and were really
heavy. Holes are about 3 1/2' deep and 2’ in diameter, all dug by hand with
shovel and posthole digger. Of course everything has to be squared up and kept
level so there's lots of measuring and checking with several levels and Mark's
laser. Menards is supposed to deliver the trusses and metal roofing sheets
sometime this coming week.
