Park Rapids - Engholm build Volunteer needs next week: Dec 16th Monday - soffits & fascia (weather dependent) Dec 17th Tuesday - no volunteers needed Dec 18th Wednesday - no work in Park Rapids Dec 19th Thursday - no volunteers needed Dec 20th Friday - soffits & fascia (weather dependent) Monday & Friday is our only volunteer need days next week, start time 9a. | I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I have 2 salvage projects on the docket for next week. With a good crew, I'm guessing the projects will take one day for each of them. Monday, December 9 - Tuesday, December 10: Salvage West of Pequot near Leader, MN. Really nice project with cabinets, appliances, interior doors, flooring if we can get it and more. Wednesday, December 11 - Friday, December 13: Salvage in Crosslake This is a Wes Hanson Project that I haven't seen yet. Sounds like quite a bit of nice stuff. There will of course be pickups to do in between there as well, but would like to get a couple of good crews set up for each of these projects first. Please let me know what day(s) you are available and I'll get you on the schedule. Thank you!! |
