I still have to talk with Peg again about what times we can work without disturbing the children, but the attached is consistent with what she and I have discussed so far. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">The strategy is to do the 120' section along School Street this year, and the section along Pine Street, the front entrance and gates next year. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Key dates for this year:</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">As soon as materials arrive (which should be next week), cut, lightly sand, prime and paint the posts, stringers and pickets needed for about 75' of fence (45' is already done). This should be complete by November 4.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Wednesday November 5: Put up protective fence along School St, demolish and remove existing fence along School St<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Thursday November 6: Place alignment and elevation lines, mark location of new post holes</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Friday November 7: Dig 7 post holes for first 45' of fence</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Saturday November 8: Place posts and stringers, gravel and concrete</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Saturday November 15: Place pickets and screw to stringers (this allows a week for the concrete to dry)</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Thursday November 20-Saturday November 29: repeat the above sequence as necessary, aiming to complete all the work ( a new fence along School St) this calendar year.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">At present most of the work has been done by myself and John Cottle (cutting and rough sanding posts, stringers and pickets) and Matt O'Halloran (overall support plus priming and painting). As we move toward putting posts in the ground we will ask Matt to continue his overall support and also to help out with demolition, removal of waste and digging new post holes. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Once the post holes are dug and wastes removed, we will need 3 or 4 people mostly on Saturdays to help with setting posts, attaching stringers and attaching pickets. The work of attaching pickets is highly repetitive and time consuming, and we will ask any of us (and Interact and others) who can use a hand drill to help out. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">We have talked about protecting the children by use of plastic fencing on the inside of the fence. Does anyone have any ideas on protecting the posts on the outside once they are in the ground and until the concrete sets?</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">This is a lot of work to be done in a single month, but do-able if we pool our resources. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Please let me know if you can help out, and what days you either cannot do or would prefer. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div class="ydpc08b79f5signature">Jeff Stubbs<br>12101 Alderwood Rd., Mendocino, CA 95460<br>Home phone 707-593-1409<br>I phone 707-536-6190<br><br></div></div></body></html>
