Work Party Today (Dec 14) -- Time Pushed Back to 1:00
For Kiko’s Corner Seawall Project

 

Due to the rain this morning, we are adjusting the time for the work party to 1:00 pm pizza / 1:30pm start project


According to our resident weather expert, the rain is expected to stop promptly at 1:30 and we should be able to get a good amount of work done.  The added benefit of this rain --- the ground will be soft and easier to dig!  How fortunate!  
 

TODAY, Saturday, December 14th

Pizza will be provided at 1:00 at the Clubhouse
Work party starts at 1:30
 
We will 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.  
 
Please bring the following items: 
  1. Work gloves
  2. Safety Glasses
  3. Boots / shoes that can get wet and muddy
  4. Rain gear

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.
