Re: Corner Modules/Other To Do Items
I already bought new batteries and have not requested $ so far. I forgot
how much they were.
I forgot about the trailer door too. Can someone buy or bring a piece of
3/4" plywood, Marine if possible. I think the trailer door is wider than
4' so it would need something 5' plus. we could switch this out Sat. I
can not get this before the work day. Early arrivers Fri. could measure
and go to Home Depot nearby now and buy what is needed. I will see if I
have the paint.
Looks like we also need some 2x6 scraps for the corner cradle. Bring
what you have.
I have some brand new 072 curves that I would sell at going price. No tax
or shipping.
