Work Party to Prepared for Kiko’s Corner Seawall Project - December 14

 

With the water down, permits obtained and contractor engaged, we are planning to start the seawall repair project at the first of the year.  As a reminder, this project will reinforce the seawall that surrounds our crane area, affectionately referred to as "Kiko's Corner". 

While heavily weather dependent, we are targeting January 2 to begin the actual work.  Once the project begins, we expect it to require around 3 weeks, again if the weather cooperates. 

To prepare for this project, we are planning a work party on Saturday, December 14th to install the silt fencing around the work area (just above the water line). Additionally, all boats, trailers and work materials must be moved out of the area out of the area.  

 

GMSC WORK PARTY: To help prepare Kiko's Corner (crane area) for the Seawall Repair Project

SATURDAY, December 14th
Pizza will be provided at 11:30; work party starts at 12:00
To prepare the area, we need to install silt fencing around the work area just above the water line.  Please bring the following items: 
  1. Work gloves
  2. Safety Glasses

Additionally, please bring any of the below tools if you have: 

  1. Pickaxes
  2. Box knives
  3. Electric or battery powered drills
  4. Electric or battery powered hammer drills
  5. Wood drill bits
  6. Concrete drill bits for the concrete anchors

Additionally, if you have any of the below items around your house that you are looking to get rid of, please let Joe Hilliard know if you can bring: 

        • 6 small bales of straw
        • 120 feet of treated 2x4 in various lengths – we can use lengths of wood as short as 3-ft long
        • 100-feet of silt fence
        • 16 – 8” or 12” concrete blocks
        • Expansion anchors or Titen concrete anchors- minimum ½” diameter x 5” long we need approximately 40 of these.
        • 10 lbs of minimum 3” long exterior star headed screws


IMPORTANT:  Kiko’s corner, including the crane and surrounding areas will be closed December 15 - February 28.

 

This means that no boats, cars or boat parts may be in that area and the crane may not be used.  Please get all your work done to boats between now and December 15.  Obviously, if the project wraps up before February 28, we will open Kiko’s corner back up.

 
If you have a boat, trailer or any tools or parts at Kiko's corner, please move them to the back work parking lot or elsewhere by December 15.
