Pulpit, Saturday 3/25

Post by Ward Odenwald »

Most likely not flyable but Saturday’s forecast suggests ideal conditions for improving the launch (sunny with 50 to 60 degree temps). Going with tree trimming tools, saws, etc. but need help/advice concerning ramp repair and tree felling. Who’s interested?

I'm in. Do you want to work on the trees this time and the ramps next time?

That's Ok Knut. Forecasts indicate an idea weekend for camping too. My first suggestion would be to focus on trimming trees and cutting back shrubs. As far as ramp preventive maintenance/repair, a closer look by someone with carprentry experience is required to select the best screws for securing some of the planks.

I'll arrive around 10 with tree limb/bush clippers, hand saws and a chain saw.
