On Wednesday, November 13, FOSM volunteers will complete replacing the old shingle roof on the Yucca picnic area restroom in the Oak Flat Group Reservation Picnic Area with a new metal roof. Remaining work consists of installing the gable trims pieces and the roof cap and caulking around the cupola. This should be a shorter day than the two previous work days.
Russ Parker, an experienced roofer, will be working on the roof with one of 4 safety harnesses that FOSM owns. We need a few other volunteers to work on the roof with him. We also need volunteers on the ground to pass materials up to the people on the roof. Tools and safety harnesses will be provided.
We especially need volunteers who are willing to be trained to work on roofing projects, because we have 5 other roofs that need replacing.
Meet at 8:00 AM (note earlier time) at the FOSM Guard Station behind the Sandia Ranger Station. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirts, and sturdy boots with slip-resistant soles. Bring work gloves and hard hats. If you do not have a hard hat, one will be provided. Bring lunch, snacks, and drinks.
If you have questions, please email me at samgbeard@msn.com.
