Subject: [sac-forum] Raising the Roof



In the near future, I plan on "raising the roof" on my new observatory, an
8ft x 10ft  Tuff Shed that was modified and built to my specs (to comply
with our HOA rules and regs) and setting it on track rails.   

 

The rails are built, the track is ready.  I just need a good weekend and
some willing hands and backs to help me lift the roof off the shed and set
it onto the track system.  It should take us about 2 hours, more or less.

 

Since this coming weekend is a good observing weekend, I don't want to do it
this weekend. I'd like to aim for next weekend, November 8 (Saturday).   If
you can help out that day (I'd like to do a late morning start, say around
10:00 am), please contact me off-list (rharshaw2@xxxxxxx) and let me know if
you can make it. I'll need to give you directions and the code to our
development's gate.

 

In the spirit of SAC camaraderie, I'd like to do this like those old Amish
barn raisings you see in  movies-why not bring something to contribute to a
group lunch?  I'll provide the burgers and bratts, if some of you can
provide buns, chips, soft drinks, beer, potato salad, slaw, baked beans
(please work downwind of the rest of us), and so on.  

 

I could use five helpers, and if you'd like to supervise, feel free to tag
along (just don't give us TOO much advice).

 

Thanks for any help you can contribute.
