October 2018 Work reports
Joe Fox:
We have a busy week ahead of us, with many arriving early to help finalize the prep for Falll Work Weekend. Today a center line will be resurveyed along the rail grade, and a marker placed at the end of our goal. (Would hate to see us get ahead of ourselves. :) ) Crane should be finished later today, and hopefully recieve a load test in the afternoon.
Other work later this week include testing out the crane, loading the track building train, finish preparations for work at Sheepscott, etc.
Bill Baskerville:
I plan on arriving mid to late morning on Thursday to help get ready.

Jeff Schumaker:
I have a late morning flight out of Detroit on Wednesday. Due to a long layover in Chicago, I'll arrive at Manchester at 5 pm. That means I won't get to the museum until after dark Wednesday evening.

James Patten:
Anticipated work for weekend of October 6: Fall Work Weekend. Do I need to spell it out?
* Track laying - goal of 1400 feet
* Percival house - build a new deck and stairs
* Utilities - dig the trenches for utilities between future drop site and car shop and Percival house
* New parking lot - clearing for the new lot
* Food, food, food - feeding the troops, I think Nancy Weeks is in charge of that. She may be doing all 3 meals again this weekend.
Going on elsewhere nearby this weekend is the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest. The downtown gets decorated with massive pumpkins that have been carved, drawn or painted on. Just don't go in town during the day as you won't find any parking.
Paul Uhland:
James...
In the spirit of clarifying your FWW agenda (blame my TV journalism background), especially per new volunteers' expectations:
*Percival House--build a new deck and stairs at east entry, replacing demolished handicap ramp.
*Utilities--dig the trenches for utilities connecting future drop site (at new power pole?), car shop and PH.
*New parking lot-- clearing where, exactly?
Good luck, all!
