    The above scans are the dimensions that I took on site on saturday detail is minimal as there were lots of areas and issues to see and time was limited. I have now recieved a square meter rate for the application of the foam insulation, I have sent photo's to the company and they have so far advised that the foam would be applied externally, if this is the case then that would save a lot of initial work by us and cause little disruption to the shooters.

    I am awaiting a reply as to when they can attend site to carryout a full assesment so that a formal quotation for the works can be provided and we will then know what we are looking at cost wise. This will be the most costly of the initial works and it is important that the building is weathertight before we crack on and make it more appealing and user friendly.

    I will update you all when I have any more info.

    I do have more pictures but I am struggling to get these up on the net

    Cheers

    I have a spare Content Management System set up on one of the UKAHFT websites if that is any help or I could load a new one specifically for the work in progress so that when people login they can add their content or report as to where the work is up too. Could also attach it to a forum if required so work could be co-ordinated.

    Mail me if you think it's of any use

    Paul,

    Top man, I guess once the roof price is established we will get an idea
    of how much we will need to raise for the initial weatherproofing of the
    shell.

    Having spoken to Kieran, the internal electricals although basic are
    essentially there, they just need tidying.

    So then it's plumbing and decorating I guess and any extras we
    can spring for to make the place more useful.

    Do we have anyone who will take up the mantle of chief beggar?
    We need someone who is used to dealing with companies and basically
    begging or equipment for a charitable cause. Anybody up for it?

    Let's hold on for a little while, Nealsey. There are irons in fires on several fronts and targets are being identified as we speak. We also need to secure the roof repair before much of anything can be done inside. As soon as we finalise the requirements list, we can really go for what we need, rather than opt for a general approach.

    There's an airgun manufacturers' meeting on the 11th of July, and this project is on the agenda. By then we'll know most of what we need to about costs and details.

    There must be someone that could sell sand to the arabs and scrounge like a good-un That can do this for us..

    The initial cost of the roof is a lot less than I expected it to be, however once the company have carried out a site visit we will have a much better idea of costs for this, I have a basic list of materials for the works to the end elevation so if people can lay their hands on screws and nails etc. this will help matters along

    Screws and nails from Screwfix direct Paul, pennies in comparison to
    other retailers.

    Once we have enough cash for the roof we can sort out the other stuff.

    Could you PM me with the rough cost so I know what we have to work
    to?

    One less than minor point is that a H & S risk assesment needs to be done. Any specialist contractor will be able to provide this for their element of the work such as the roofers however for those who are volunteer workers, H&S needs to be in place otherwise in the unfortunate instance of an accident, all the good work could be undone by a accident claim. I can certainly provide RA and method statements for the security work

    One area of particular concern has already been raised with the asbestos roof, but do we know if there is any more of the damned stuff else where. I'd want to know this before I started drilling holes

    Sorry for that input item, but it should be covered chaps.

    All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

    I've just referred to the notes I made on Saturdays visit, Bob, and I'm certain that I saw asbestos on the side of one of the huts. Hut 2 / range 2, to be precise.

    The initial idea was to cloak the whole wall by putting a new skin onto the existing one by fixing new uprights onto the current ones. This would provide most remedial work as far as all the holes through to the outside are concerned.

    The roof is really the main asbestos concern; there's a lot of it!

    Once Paul gets the quote for the roof treatment and Terry has had the meeting with AMTA, we're going to have another visit to glean some more info.

    I believe the club secretary is talking to their bank regarding online donations, Andy. I certainly haven't heard back from Rosie about this, I don't know if Terry has.

    No matter how it's done, there will be an ability to contribute donations.

    Terry will give you the SP when he comes online later.

    Cheers.

    Andy, I'm talking to Rosie tomorrow and I'll let you know what's transpired re. donations. Meanwhile, thanks so much for doing what you're doing, mate.

    In other news, Jeffrey Oldstead from B.A.S.C. has contacted me and wants to include the first post in this thread in the Association's publication, including the donation address and news of the HFT lads' fundraising efforts.
    Thanks B.A.S.C., we appreciate that.

    Finally, thanks too to all of those that have volunteered. Your offers have been logged and you WILL be contacted. Well-done all.
