The first weekend in May was dedicated to a 2 day working bee to demolish the old termite destroyed air compressor shed and erect a new steel shed in its place.
The old shed only took about 2 hours to demolish due to the terminal damage to all the frame and the concrete pad was very quickly cleaned and made ready for the new shed.
The steel frames had been previously constructed to make the task possible in the two days and by the end of Saturday, the new walls had all been stood and secured and all the wall cladding affixed.
Sunday say the electrical reconnected and the roof sheeting, door vents and spin-away all installed leaving only the new and approved air connection to be made after purchase of the required components and the flashing acquired and installed.
Rick and Bob competed the air hook up yesterday and the turning targets are now all operational again.
The flashing is all onsite ready to be installed over coming weeks to complete the entire construction.
Only five members were in attendance yesterday but the Black Powder weekend does not attract large attendances.
Bob did a lot of cleaning around the new shed before anyone else arrive yesterday and then Charles and Ralph loaded all the offcuts of iron sheets and other metal rubbish after Lunch to take to the tip while Bob, Rick and Wayne contested the 25 m Black Powder Match with varying degrees of success.
Match of the day next week is Centre Fire/25 m Pistol (sport pistol)
