Synopsis

Round 1 of Brian Waddington Hut renovations this summer. Drive up Friday evening or Saturday morning early, haul in some stuff, do some work, spend night at Hut, do some more work, hike out, drive home.

Date

May 23^rd - 24^th, 2009

To Do List (this round)

1. Clear boulders from the road so it's passable by high clearance 4x4s. If we drove up Friday evening and camped, we could spend early Saturday morning trundling boulders off the road.
2. Vanquish the mildew. This involves hauling a gallon of Behr #62 mildew killer plus a gallon of wood preparation concentrate #63, plus a scrubbing brush with a long handle, plus maybe rubber gloves, up to the Hut, and going at it. I think we apply #62 sparingly, then wash it off with clear water from the stream, then apply #63. Anybody have experience with this?
3. Double glaze the windows. This involves hauling up seven Lexan windows that have been cut to size, plus some screws and clips for attaching the windows. And a screwdriver.
4. Fix the roof. I don't know who the Roof Committee is, what they have in mind, or what supplies or tools they need to haul up. Involves detaching the ladder from upstairs and taking it outside, then climbing up on the roof and messing with sheet metal and maybe foam insulation.
5. (possibly) install Roland's Solar Device (TM). If we don't have enough spare people to install the solar air heater component, we can at least install the fan component, so that it will be sucking air through the Hut and drying it in preparation for Round 2: painting. Roland is the Solar Device Committee.
