Blood, Sweat and Tears (no breakfast) is all we can offer Saturday Nov 25th. We need to move ALL the stuff to the N end of the Hangar (the done, painted part) so we can work on the S end floor. Includes 3 refrigerators and a stove. Then lots of cleaning and sanding in preparation for Painting on Sunday afternoon the 26th plus 2nd coat Monday the 27th. The more of us that show up – the less work for all. See you tomorrow 9:00 AM

President John
EAA31 Breakfast and work party
This Saturday Nov 18th after our Monthly breakfast we will begin work on our shiny new floor. Here’s what we will need to do:
Move EVERYTHING to the back half of the hangar.
Preparation is everything.
Thoroughly clean the floor: 1st vac, then scrub/clean with cleaner, then etch with TSP (TriSodiumPhosphate), then rinse, then patch, where needed, with grout.
We will need to keep the place well heated to get good bonding for the paint, so the mechanical timer switches will need to be temporarily replaced with regular switches.
Then, on Sunday the 19th at 2:30 we can do the fun part. Actually roll on the paint.
We already have 6 Gallons of BEHR one part epoxy paint (silver gray). Cleaner, TSP, Mop, bucket, water, Sandpaper, patching grout, Paint roller, Pan, Cutting in brushes, etc.
We can decide on Saturday whether we want to do the 2nd half of the floor on the following weekend (Thanksgiving week end) OR on Dec 2nd (The Joint Christmas Party at John Stahrs date)
See you there. President John

B 17: EAA’s “Aluminum Overcast” will be at the EUG airport MAY 5th, 6th, & 7th (Friday, Saturday, & Sunday). Last time this happened (2013) they did 89 rides, (@ $500) 446 ground tours (@$10) plus $4000 in merchandise sales. Chapter 1457 netted $3000. It was a LOT of fun! The good news is 1457 will be sharing in the net revenue based on percentage of participation for Chapters 31, 1457 and the Lebanon Chapter. We will need 10 (or more) people for each “shift” and we will have 2 shifts per day (6 shifts total). Details on “sign up” will follow.
FLYING CLUB: Some people (myself included) are waiting for the new 3rd class medical rules to go into effect, before jumping on the new flying club bandwagon.
BRING A GUEST. Let them see how much fun we can have.
