We need to have 3 day range work week to finish installing the electrical for the popup target machines, the hardest part is finished and we have power up to the 500 yard line. This three day work weekend will be for general clean up ,painting and finishing this electrical project. The last thing that needs to be done is to ditch too and install outlets at each yard line. We will then have a safe functioning electrical system that will support electronic controllers for the popups and last another 20 years or so. I need your help to do this. We also need you to bring rakes, shovels, weed-eaters and other general yard maintenance tools. A tractor with a bucket would be a great help too.
Some of the items I would like to knock out besides the electrical are the steps behind the range huts, this will involve using railroad ties to make more permanent steps into the hillside like the ones behind the 25 yard range. The girl scouts built that set of steps.
We need to remove debris from the berms so they can be mowed.
There's a lot of piles of debris that we can move to the burn pit area.
General cleanup of the camping area
Covering the electrical ditches that have washed out.
Cleaning out the target shed, rebuilding the doors and painting. The one at 300
Adding more target holders too several of the target lines
Coating the container roofs with sealant.
Pasting new targets on the card board backers for the KD range.
Adding target holders to several of the target lines
Finish painting the huts and 25 and yard line cover/ range house


  I will provided Lunch all three days and lots of water. Gate will open at 08:00
This will be posted on the Appleseed forum too. I will update the forum every so often.

Jim and I should be there all three days..
Cleaveland just pointed out that we should be signing up for this, so I did. Should I be signing up for these "Libertyseeds" whenever they fall into our work days?
See you soon,
Doni

Hello friends,
      I just signed up, I will bring trimmers, saws, blower etc.  I have a strong back and a weak mind. (Sorta) I will be willing to assist as needed.  I would like to camp on sight and will be arriving a little after lunch on Friday.  I would also like to volunteer to cook a bbq pork dinner Saturday evening if that would be ok.

Thank you for signing up, I've been working on target stands, range truck and other items on the list to have ready to go for our workday. I can bring a MacDaddy (large) grill that has plenty of room and cooks even.
