Here's the work that remains to be done.

28 Aug - Update

Good morning,
Due to mechanical problems with the truck we had planned to use we were unable to do much of the work we had planned for last nite.  It doesn't look like the truck will be working today either, and with Marilla Park closed for the Sprint, Splash and Spin we wouldn't be able to get a vehicle in to the building anyway so we'll spend today doing the cleanup.  Here's the updated task plan.  We hope you can volunteer to help.   Call 304-276-0213 if you have any other questions.
Thanks,

Park in upper lot, walk to our building

Clear out debris, load into dumpster or truck
Collect misc lumber and stack in one place
Sweep all areas, mop all areas, dry out standing water

Saturday - Outside activities

27 Aug - The Move is on, Starting Tonite

Good evening, 
Last minute change of plans - same schedule, different venue. We found the Sabreton School too leaky, but BOPARC has graciously offered us the old Habitat ReStore location in Marilla Park a few blocks away in Sabreton.  This will be a great location, right next to the trail and lots of other traffic.  

Update:  On Thursday morning Marc Wise gave myself and Bill Jones a walk-through of the building.  Everything looks great for a weekend move, although since  the Sprint, Splash and Spin will be going on Saturday we want to do all the heavy moving on Friday nite (after the kids' race) so we can just work onsite Saturday and won't need to have vehicles coming and going.  We'll need volunteers at both times, we'd appreciate it if you can bring things like hammers, drills/screwdrivers, pushbrooms, mops, rakes, pruning shears and saws as needed for the work to be done (label your personal tools clearly).  Here are the other details:

Friday - arrive 7pm, warehouse
Get boxes from recycling center
Pack and move stuff from warehouse (includes a large display cabinet)
Dismantle fixtures at shop(wheel/tire racks, remove slotwall)
Pack and move stuff from shop (includes large parts shelves, tables part cart)

Saturday - arrive 10am, Marilla Park
Park in upper lot, walk to our building
Clear out debris, load into dumpster or truck
Collect misc lumber and stack in one place
Sweep all areas, mop all areas, dry out standing water
Move/setup all showroom bikes and displays into SE room
Move part shelves into middle of SE room to form partition
Setup toolboards/worktables along W wall of SE room
Open for business

Saturday - Outside activities
Rake and sweep paved areas and parking lot
Clear and remove brush around building

Thanks!  We're looking forward to working with you, making this a fun and worthwhile new phase for sustainable transportation in Morgantown.
