[SEL] Attention Tod Engine Volunteers

[Tod Engine Foundation]

Finally the last two pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place.  The City of Youngstown has  approved our building permit application and we have recieved a sizable grant from the Tod Foundation, clearing the way for construction to begin on the Tod Enginehouse.  

The construction of the building will be done completely by volunteers, no contractors will be involved.  We have about four months to form up and pour eight concrete piers and erect the building columns and trusses before the onset of winter. I think we can do it with sufficient help.

If you plan to volunteer some time to help with the construction of the enginehouse building, we will be holding work sessions every Saturday for the rest of the summer and fall.  If you can't make it on a Saturday I can accomodate you any other day that you may be available.

Our first task is forming up the piers for the south wall of the building.  We will start working on that project this upcoming Saturday.  I'll be picking up rebar on Friday and maybe we can pour the first load of concrete by the end of next week, weather permitting. 

So if you've been considering helping out our worthy project, now is the time! 

Thanks
