Hi, Avaleigh.  Let me know if you still have the cover and when we could arrange for a look.  Thx.

A few strong, experienced members are needed to retrieve some specific lumber pieces from a house in E Vancouver that is due to be demolished shortly. Specifically, we want to save some cedar steps and fir 2 x 10 rafters/beams that form the carport roof. There might be some additional useful pieces, too
The plan is to store these pieces nearby, maybe until Spring, then to build some tent platforms at some of the Howe Sd campsites. The cedar will likely be used sooner for foot treads on a new log bridge just built at Tantalus Landing.

Any potential volunteer can pl email me
treasurer2@skabc.org

Work boots, protective clothing, gloves, hearing and eye protection needed. I’d suggest a hard hat too. A pickup truck would be helpful, if anyone has one.

We will approach the wrecking carefully and safely. We expect to be able to use some power tools such as recip saw, elec chainsaw, skilsaw. Volunteers might need their own hammers and crow/pry bar, but we have all sorts of demolition tools, so this is not really necessary.

We could wait until the backhoe crew has knocked the structure down and ask the contractor to retrieve and set aside these pieces for us (saving them the dumping fee, charged by weight) but they could be damaged and worthless by then.

The drywall and any asbestos have already been professionally removed.

Follow -up ..

The small work party of Steve Best, Philip Kubik, and I with Sacha Sulaver on Wed only built a log bridge over the creek at Tantalus Landing. The work was quite hard, but the weather was perfect! it is too bad we didn’t have more daylight, because it was getting dark as we finished.  I’m sure we’ll be posting some photos once we get our gear washed and sorted…

[Nick Heath]

Yes my son was involved with surveying the property. He knew that Metro Vancouver Parks are planning some changes that need Port of Vancouver approval. Nothing drastic, but the old house was seen as a liability. I’ll try to find out what they intend here. I asked a planner for a toilet. There is one there already, but it is for employees and kept locked.

For those that like to keep track of what is happening on the water, the house at Thwaytes Landing is now being demolished.  I was there yesterday and a big barge was taking away the debris.

Looking for a kayak around 15 feet long with a rudder and lots of stability.

Please contact Cynthia at 778-995-9796

[Cynthia Materi]

Is this gone?

[Cynthia Materi]

Is this 16 feet long?  is it still available.  The link to pictures does not work.

thanks,

Cynthia

First posting appears to not have saved – sorry if this is a duplicate.

We have enough pails now, thanks to donors and site inspection volunteers, and they are now deployed at the 6 Howe Sd sites. If you have collected more already, please give them to me at the next SKABC meeting or Vol Dinner. We’ll be putting more out there at other sites in the area, or further afield before long.

[Nick Heath]

Steve and I plan to be moving logs for possible creek bridges at Thornbrough and Tantalus sites on 17/18 Oct. Likely heavy work. We maybe need 1 more strong person. We might tackle some canoe run maintenance – boulder rolling, too, if the log work is just too easy. Pl let Steve or Nick know. treasurer2@skabc.org
