American Tobacco Trail Workday Saturday February 25 9 am

[Bill Bussey]

Hi Volunteers for the American Tobacco Trail,

This is to remind you of our American Tobacco Trail workday, Tomorrow, 
*Saturday, February 25*, on the American Tobacco Trail at the 
Fayetteville Road Trailhead 
<http://www.triangletrails.org/DIRECTIONS.HTM> at 9 a.m. 

Please join us, Saturday, February 25 at 9 a.m. at the Fayetteville Road 
trailhead <http://www.triangletrails.org/DIRECTIONS.HTM> in Durham 
County. Our main focus will be to continue installation of the roof 
panels for our information pavillion structure at the parking area. The 
frame of this structure was constructed several weeks back TRTC 
volunteers. We are currently screwing the roof panels in place on the roof.

Yesterday, Curt Devereux, Frank Bennett and I installed two ridge panels 
and continued to learn a bit as we went along. Last Saturday, we had a 
great team and acceptable weather and managed to get more of the flat 
panels installed.

After gorgeous weekdays, we seem to keep having bad weather on Saturday 
mornings. However, we go with what we have and end the workday early if 
conditions warrant.
  
If it is rainy or worse on Saturday, we will have a limited workday that 
would end before noon. Or we may have none at all. Please use your best 
judgment to determine if you want to be working outside in rainy 
conditions. 

If you have an AC powered drill driver that operates at speeds of up 
around 2500 rpm, we could sure use it. An AC powered drill that operates 
at around 2500 rpm would be useful as well. We do have AC power on site. 

If you have a 6 foot, or preferably 8 or more foot folding ladder, we 
could use it too!

Also, please let me know if any of you are available to help out in the 
week. Thursday afternoons are best. However, we may be able to meet at 
the site at other times as well. We'd really like to get this roof 
project wrapped up, so any and all help is appreciated.
 
Bring work gloves, full shoes or boots, clothing appropriate for the 
weather, water and a snack if you like.* *

We'll probably work till about noon or so. If it is raining badly or all 
over the area, or the forecast is for such, we'll cancel this workday. 
Feel free to call Bill Bussey at 919 545-9104, as late as 8 a.m., to 
verify a go or no go. However, if you aren't comfortable with the 
forecast, use your best judgment and join us or not as you prefer.
