Project Leader Notes
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ! The project lead will be out of town and unable to contact people the week prior to Love Chico. You will not receive a phone call prior to Love Chico. Please just meet as directed below:
When/Where to meet: Let’s meet at 8:30 at the Great Harvest Bread Company located at 1141 Forest Avenue. We will caravan from there (and maybe carpool too). The preserve is 9 miles up HWY 32, and it’s difficult to know where to turn off. So, let’s meet and go together. I will buy you a cup of coffee and will bring water and snacks.
What we’re doing: We will be building two picnic tables. The design is pretty straight-forward. See design here: http://members.shaw.ca/bomr/ptabl.htm
What we have: We have the wood donated from Payless Lumber. I will be purchasing the hardware. I will also bring my chop saw. Jeff will be supplying the power.
What we need: Drills. I have one, and will be bringing a chop saw. More power drill would be great!
