I will need help with removing the dirt (with shovels/wheelbarrows) from the site and spreading it in the woods. A Bobcat (with an auger) will be used to remove the dirt for the concrete base/footing (this is happening at 9am on 3/12).=== Bring **gloves** and a **wheelbarrow** (if you have one) and a **dirt shovel** (if you have one) WHO CAN COME?- Jim Romanowski user:andyromanowski - bringing 3 wheelbarrows and 2 shovels **I'll be on site at 9am when the Bobcat arrives to start the excavation***

==3/25/16 PROJECT WORKDAY 11:30am-? at Bristol Woods County Park (just south off of HWY C/Wilmot Road on MB) 9800-160th Ave/Pringle Nature Center 857-8008 ** My cell: 909-1126 **== === My next workday will be this Friday, March 25th at 11:30am - ? (this will give us time to unload the wheelbarrows, etc and have a safety meeting before the cement truck comes). The concrete truck should be at Bristol Woods around high noon (they are coming from another job and can't give me a definite time). I will need volunteers to haul the wheelbarrows from the parking lot (where the cement truck will be located) up the hill to the Chimney Swift Tower site. It's going to be hard work. Wear dirty clothes/shoes and work gloves. I'll bring a hose that we can hook up to the nature center to wash out the wheelbarrows when we are done. The Nature Center will be open on Friday until 4pm. If you have a wheelbarrow, please bring it. I'll bring 3 wheelbarrows and 5 galloon buckets we can use to haul the concrete in.=== __ WHO CAN COME? __ Jim Romanowski user:andyromanowski

user:Max_Matushek Aaron Pecore Brian Pecore user:Ryan_Daugherty Mr. Daugherty Kevin Carpenter Today we had 14 volunteers that worked a total of 43.50 hours. We loaded concrete from the truck into wheelbarrows and pushed them up the hill to the excavated site for the Chimney Swift Tower (we had 5 wheelbarrows so the convoy made the job go quick but it was hard work pushing the wheelbarrows full of concrete up the hill). Thank you to everyone who volunteered today: Ryan & Pat Daugherty, Kevin Carpenter, Brian & Aaron Pecore, Max Matushek. All of the concrete was donated by (Pete) Bindelli Construction.

4/3/16 - FINAL PROJECT WORKDAY 1:00PM at my house (call for address 942-1763) & Bristol Woods County Park
The FINAL workday will be next Sunday (April 3rd) at 1pm. We will transport the tower from my backyard, into the trailer and out to Bristol Woods and set it into place on the concrete pad. The tower is very heavy - and 15 feet tall - getting it from a horizontal to vertical position will not be easy. I need people that can lift HEAVY weight. ALL SCOUTS WILL NEED TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT WHO CAN LIFT HEAVY WEIGHT!! __WHO CAN COME?__ Jim Romanowski user:andyromanowski Jacob Moss (I may need a ride, or I can get dropped off at Andy's at 12:30) Joe Loewen Josh Loewen (I'll be a little bit late) Taylor Johnson Ryan Daugherty Pat Daugherty steven Sanderson and Dean Sanderson Carl Travis & Carl Travis Today was the final project workday. I had 16 volunteers that worked a total of 22.75 hours! We moved the tower from my backyard, into the trailer, and out to Bristol Woods County Park where it was installed on the concrete pad. I want to thank everyone for their help today: Joe & Josh Loewen, Carl & Carl Travis, Mister Ray, Pat & Ryan Daugherty, Mr. Schaefer, Scott and Taylor Johnson, Dean & Steven Sanderson, Jacob Moss, my dad and Alex.

== 4/30/16 - Dedication 3:00-3:30 at Bristol Woods by Chimney Swift Tower (unless it's raining then we'll be inside the Pringle Nature Center). Bring a chair to sit on.
