Agenda

Memorial Weekend, Work Weekend Proposal

Screen House & Skullery repairs
Lilly & Scooter propose that we reserve mem wknd for replacing the clear panel roof on the screen house and skullery.
Materials needed:

• 16, 2'x10' semi-clear panels
  
• 14, 2'x12' semi-clear panels
  
• 16' of corrugated flashing
  
• 48' of 2x4 purlins we need to add more support for the replacement roof material.
  
• 8' of 1x6 rough cut board and batten to replace the clabbord siding on the coffee station addition.
  
• 4, 36" storm doors
• move the white door to the out house
  

Scooter will be delighted if we get the roof done then we can move on to the projects below:
I am guessing that the roofing will cost about $1,000 the lumber about $150 and maybe $600-800 for the doors. we are looking at about $2G in materials.

• Jack up the floor of screen house & skullery
  
• Remove gyp board and insulation from kitchen
  
• Install multiple towel bars
  
• Repair all steps to the screen house
  
• 32" rolling tool chest
  
• 24" rolling tool chest
  
• Add a faucet to the skullery sinks.
  
• Replumb and rebuild lola & trixie.
  

There is the potential of replacing 150 feet of bogwalk on other parts of the land before or during gthering. Decking already purchased and on the land=7@10', 9@4', 15@3', 30@2'
Purchase a tent shed and build a platform for it. 8x8,8x10,8x12

Consensus: Okay to spend up to $2K on this list. If it's more, then we will come to consensus via email.
