Brew Hut Cleanup
Part 1
July 22-23
Part 1 of the cleanup effort is to go up to Brew Hut and put all the scrap metal and garbage into a big net that a helicopter can pick up. This is a pretty big job because some of the garbage is at the old hut site, and some is at the new hut site. It all needs to be moved to one place and packaged up into a net for helicopter pickup. If we have enough manpower we can complete some of the outstanding tasks at the hut on this trip as well (outhouse, wood shed, etc.)

Tools and Supplies
Tools at the hut that we plan to use
- Shovel (only 1 is any good)
- Pry bar
- Pick axe like tool
- Bow-type Hand saw, or Swede saw. Carpenters saws are in Vancouver for Sphinx reno.
- Hammers
- lots of nails
In additions to what's already up at the hut, the following would probably be useful to have:
- Long handle shovel - there is 1 up there already but a second one would be good (Evan can bring 1)
- Cordless Drill with drill and screw driver bits - for assembling outhouse (Scott)
- Planer - for making windows less tight (Matthew Zieleman)
- 2.5" weatherproof screws for deck (Scott already purchased)
- Hand saw - for wood shed construction (Scott)
- Bathroom scale - for determining the weight of the outgoing helicopter load (Scott) -- we may be able to construct a balance instead using available lumber and a know weight (1L nalgene full = 1kg)
- Extra tape measure (Matthew Zieleman)
- Carpenter's Square (Matthew Zieleman)
Part 2
Aug 12th or 13th, 2006
Part 2 is to get a helicopter in and haul out the garbage. This helicopter trip will happen at the same time as the Sphinx Hut rennovation building materials are being flown in so that we can reduce the helicopter costs. This will probably by a fly in hike out effort for 2-4 people since the helicopter can't fly with both passengers and an external load. If the weather is marginal we may have to hike in and then radio the helicopter when things improve. Volunteers from Part 1 of the trip will have priority for the free helicopter ride if they want it.
