Set a reminder on your pocketwatch, coz it's time to clear the gaff out! afro.gif
The week after exams finish, Saturday 19th May, we're having a boathouse cleanup.
There'll be choons and more to keep you singing your way to a spanking clean and repaired boathouse!
8) (and hopefully some gorgeous weather too)
Any ideas for things that could be done would be much appreciated, please PM me here or get in contact whatever way you like, they'll be taken on board and quite likely used!
We'll also be getting a record of every bit of gear the club owns.
More deetz will go up later! ;D

I would marry a...

I remember I did this, many moons ago. I still claim rights to my cage trailer! I'll be back for the wheels round Christmas time.
-
Myself and mark are banned from being in the boathouse together, it has to do with lighters, aerosols and some posters. It's a good thing that the roof is made of asbestos.

ha they'll probably be the only bits still intact by then...
-
Bring the trailer to whomever made it, from what I could see you will need to sand off the galvanise in a few spots to weld. Then paint it with hammerite. If you don't want to talk to the original company, Benny's friend Joey O Neill is a welder. Noel whelan's company might be an option but Noel doesn't do trailers, so unless business is really slow, won't be interested.
Option two is to get strips of metal and place these over the mesh and bolt to secure. Or use metal cable ties.
-
realistically we all know a few people who are well capable of doing a bit of welding so thats really not a huge issue..... :)
-
Depressingly, the mesh coming off the sides is far from its biggest problem.
-
Club hovercraft with boat racks.
Issue closed.
Next question?
-
Turnips; do you trust them?

Turnips; do you trust them?
Not as far as I can throw them! (http://youtu.be/BlwgcJJTruc)
-
You must trust them quite a bit seeing as that's a fair oul throw!
-
Ha ha! Now I'm glad I didn't ask for my name to be welded into the cage trailer! I am a GImp , its just like being a pimp, except it has a G instead of a P
-
I can weld if you need me too , also have a welder which helps in this respect
-
hmm, i doubt there'll be any welding, but ya never know :)
there'll likely be hamers and nails used a bit though :D
-
Welding you say?i might have a job for you!
-
if you need any bits and pieces, tell me before i come back up next week and i can give a look around home for stuff to fix things with etc
recycling and all that.... :D
-
Well, countdown is on
If you come along you'll have the pleasure of seeing all the gear in the boathouse, even things you thought we didn't have
There'll be plenty of nailing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otCpCn0l4Wo) and screwing and shifting of gear
Would anyone like to bring a bbq? Cuz that'd be class!
-
I'll bring ze disposable barbeque yokes if other people bring the food
-
any other tools that might be needed? Tell me now and i'll have them ready for saturday
-
I guess I'll bring juggling balls and a kazoo. Boat house cleanup, y'know.

sounds cool, if its fixable that'd be pretty cool
-
Sorry about the short notice, but some stuff that would be great for tomorrow would be:
A circular saw
1 (2 if possible) cordless drills.
A stereo and some tunes!
-
I can do the drills, but other peeps bring some too as I'll likely forget :)
tunes i can do too :)
-
We'll need a good big stereo so that they can gear us all over campus.
Extension cords too, a few of those would be great
-
ooh, and a try-square, or at least a t-square would be really handy. As would a bevel iph anyone has one.
And dub-step, there should be dub-step.
I'm quite excited!
-
Stuff needed:
- drills
- stereo
- extension leads
- try square / t square
- circular saw
- bevel
- black sacks
- sweeping brushes
- dustpan and brush
- hammers
- screws
- spare bits of wood n stuff
- chocolate
- sweets
I believe Derv is bringing diposable barbeques, so there'll probably be a shop run at some point.
And if she can't for whatever reason, there'll still be a shop run, but for less raw things. :D
-
i Have a circular saw handy and will bring a (corded) drill i think i have a cordless one as well. I shall bring some of the other less specific stuff as well. think i have a stereo handy.
-
I'v just noticed that the cover bit for the boot of my car is missing and I left it in the boathouse the day of the RSR. If ye could just put it somewhere out of the way tomorrow that would be great, I'll be up to collect it next weekend.
-
it's not out of the way at all, it's lying up against one of the walls blockin the lightswitch :)
Starting at 11am guys, i'll hopefully be there a little before, but i've to drop off some silage wrap for recycling...

Amazing work done in the boathouse today! Thanks so much to everyone who came out to help (and a mention to Eoghan who came out to try and cause havoc, but was too hungover) a solid 12 hours of clearing, cleaning, sorting and remodeling! Over 20 new boat rack spots created and more floor space...and more natural light, I hear the feng shui is all flow-y and stuff too...
