As was discussed at the last MWDA gathering we're going to be building the racks for the NADA show at Wes' place closer to the show date. His address is 693 Kensington Way, Bolingbrook and you can PM him for his phone number if you want it. The dates Wes has suggested for the build are either Saturday June 4 or the following week on the 11th. We didn't talk about a start time, but I'll throw out a 9 o'clock start time for a discussion point. I know these dates are a ways off yet but thought I'd put it out there now in case you already know of an absolute conflict. Personally the 4th would work slightly better for me, but it doesn't matter all that much. As I'm writing this listening to the rain pounding down the thought occurred to me that maybe we could plan on the build happening on the 4th and using the 11th as a rain date. Looking for every ones thoughts. Here's who I have listed as being interested in helping with the build:
Ardan
Bill
Jeff
Josh
Josie
Keith
Saykham
Wes

Already went to the store John and found one of their 20Hs and measured it myself. Their website dimensions were correct by the way.
Also remember you have to have a little extra room for the cords.
And think about some center support or diagonal bracing if the span is a good length or its shoddy wood lol. Save me and John a trip to Lowes

Either date should work fine for me as well. Let me know if you need me to bring anything.
June 4th Renee and I can both be there. The following weekend I should be able to make it, she has to work.
Looking forward to it!

Thought that I would check in with the build crew. Lunch will be brats and Italian sausage, baked beans and coleslaw. I will have regular- diet soda and water. Bring your swim suits if you want to cool off. I think Keith suggested 9 am which is good for me.

Measure twice....cut once
Not to worry...I think you all have some Bob Villa in you to make it work.
