2013-09-21 Herne Hill Polo Court Build - Call for volunteers

We're gonna need enough paint to cover 384m/sq (each board is 8' x 4' = 2.97m/sq, so 6m/sq per board x 40 boards) plus the uprights...

Just spoken to the manufacturer of Fence Mate, they say we'll be able to cover between 6-9m/sq of untreated ply with 1 litre of their product... So if we err on the side of caution we're gonna need 13 x 5 litre tubs of paint and then a few more to make sure we can cover the uprights...

8 x roller kits...

5 x sets of brushes...

1 x 2.5 litre tin of yacht varnish for the tops of the boards?

How does that sound?

Do we have any wood screws left over from the open? What size did we use at the LO?

Is there electricity at HH we can use? Trying to work out if I should bring drill chargers or not

Yup, there's power in the office portakabin... We should be OK, Ed...

PS Anyone know what access to Ryan's yard is like? Is the wood easily accessible?

Cheers, it only just occurred to me...

Very accessible, just reverse in and start loading.

Nice one... Thanks, Ben...

probably worth taking the van to toolstation if we need to pick up 15 odd cans of paint?

Yup, that's what we'll do, Dave...

can one of you guys pm me your number? I'm working until 5 (although I'll probably do one at 4), so I'll head over afterwards but via public transport.

have drill, but will it be necessary? won't get there until half 4 or 5

Think we'll probably be ok with just a few, can split painting/construction duties

B and I are picking up the van at 10am then driving straight up to Hackney, should be there by 11, maybe just before...

We should be at Herne Hill for about 1.30-1.45...

See you all in a bit! :)

PS I've just bought some heavy duty rubber gloves from the pound shop, should save our hands from a few splinters...

Looks like I'll have time to help with the load aswell, overground looks to be working... I'll text someone if I get lost.

I'll be down at HH about 2.

Running a tiny bit late...

I'll aim for 2 at HH too

Should be at the workshop in half an hour.

Think I can make the HH side of things

Hoping to be there 2/2.30

All hands on deck for 2pm. We have a half an hour window to unload.

Apologies, running late.

On my way

I just got here, by the grandstand if anyone's about

Shit, I just surfaced will be at hi as soon as I can
