After the half day board meeting on Saturday, Scott, Ray, and Ray's son Esai worked on projects around the campus. They removed nails from the old pier lumber and stacked the salvaged pieces and used the best to construct three new benches.
Here they celebrated the completion of the benches by stacking them into a pyramid and posing on top for a photo op. They then placed the new benches on the piers and one near the bulkhead behind 302.
Early the next morning, too early for me, they began work on the pier lights that were out. Scott drove to Lowe's in Aransas and purchased three new bulbs for about $35 each. Ray replaced this one and it worked fine.
This fixture, as it turned out, uses a different bulb. The fixture looks the same, but just a slight difference in construction required a different bulb. I'll pick one up later this week.
Then they decided to work on the whole stack of lumber behind the maintenance shed. They stacked it up neatly and discarded the boards and pieces that were of no value.
They piled the scrap lumber on the old trailer and that was a project in itself as the trailer is on its last legs too. Even the wheels are of different size.
They hooked the old trailer to Scott's suburban and slowly, very slowly, headed to the dumpster. They then parked the trailer under 301 along with the beach drag should we ever need it again.
