[LCBB] gym floor is coming out this week, please contact me if you can help

[Mike Kinnard]

Hello everyone,
 
As some of you may have heard, the L-C basketball boosters are going to take
possession of some of the existing wood floor from the High School gym.
This is in the hopes of coming up with a fundraising idea for the wood.  
 
After 2 weeks of trying to talk to the contractor that is doing the new gym
floor - I finally talked to him today.  So, this is very short notice.  They
begin taking the floor out on Tuesday afternoon (tomorrow).  I was in the
gym today marking off a few key areas that I want salvaged in larger pieces.
Beyond that, I'm asking them to take out 4x8 sections that we can possession
of.  I'd like to get as many of them as possible.  We can always destroy
them later if we don't use them all.  I'll also ask for a few 6x10 sections
in case someone has an idea that requires larger sections.
 
When I was there today, I saw a sample that they had removed.  It comes out
in really good shape with 5/8 inch subfloor and about 1/2 inch maple on top.
It does have nails coming out of the bottom of the subfloor that will need
to be ground off.
 
So, I need your help.  The contractor will be cutting and removing the
sections.  The said they would place them outside for us, but we need to get
there to grind off the nails and haul them away.
 
We'll have to remove the larger pieces from the gym ourselves with a drywall
cart that they will supply.  
 
BayShore Cabinets has agreed to store some of the peices, but I expect we'll
need another place or two to store some.
 
I'm looking for volunteers:
1) Anyone know of another local place we can store 4x8 sheets for a few
months?
2) Can anyone help on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of this week.
Ideally we would have a couple of people to be there in the afternoon to
work at the pieces as they come out.   I am going there at noon on Tuesday
to have a final planning conversation with the contractor, but have to get
back to work by 2:30PM.  
---Looking for people to put a few hours in during the work day this week
---Looking for people to put in a few hours in the evenings
3) Looking for transportation.  I plan on bringing in one 18' trailer and a
flatrack
--Looking for ideas on how to transport
--Does anyone have access to a van or large truck of any kind?
--Pickup trucks that can fit 4x8 sheets
4) Looking for ideas on what to do with the wood for fundraising ideas.  Dan
at Bayshore gave me a whole bunch of ideas of what they can do with their
CNC machine that does precision cutting, but I don't yet know if we can make
money doing it.  Green's Landscape is going to make a prototype bench for us
out of a piece and I think he has a few more ideas.  I've heard a couple
girls say that they might like a trophy case/shelf. I'm going to call the
High School Woods teacher to see if he can help us out at all.
 
If you can help, please email me back with what you can help with and a
contact number and I will call you.
 
Thanks,
Mike Kinnard
