Attention Midway Employees.

So i was thinking we should work on doing some renovations or repairs to the midway fields and neutral zone. I would be willing to help with these repairs and such and may or may not be able to get some of my guyz to help out. For instance I think a covered area in the neutral zone would be a must. If you guys can supply the tool/lumber i can supply myself and maybe some other hellfire members. PM me or hit up the Hellfire Team thread to let me know.

I'm kinda working on the covered area, next time I'm sent to the shop for work I'm going to see about fabricating some corner pieces for a canopy-thing... steel corners that will accept 2x4 inserts, not gonna break except when rot happens.

We are going to build another smaller neutral zone within the field.
Just off to the side of the Ghost Town entrance.

2 rec fields under construction - School yard, small bushball field.

Neutral zone needs new tents and a general clean up. (get rid of Sh*t is how Hallet listed it on the to do list)

There are many little jobs that need to be done that would make the field a lot better.

Steel corners? Why not just make up some ply gussets? Cheap and easy to do. Gang nail 'em and ya got a bomb proof corner... The power of the triangle.

Sean,
Dunno if it'll help but if you wanna help get them down I have about 4 sleeves of shingles in my garage you guys can have. I also have a pile of 2x4 as well. Shoot me a PM if you want.

OK, so my wife is now giving me the grills to make the pile go away ... any of you guys have access to a truck Saturday? If so we could load the lumber and shingles and I only live 5 mins from the field (actually it's more like 2.5 mins). There is some 2x4 pressure treated, 2x6, 4x4, and some left over fencing slats ... should easily build a bunker or two ... maybe three ... or perhaps frame a neutral zone covered area. The shingles are the hard part as they are up in the rafters, but there should be enough to roof a new neutral zone cover (hint, hint).
You know you want my wood blink.gif ohmy.gif blink.gif

Anyway, someone wanna give me a ring and we can figure out how to get the lumber there?

Painting a bunker seems kinda pointless... it'll get painted soon enough anyways *laugh*

If you havent' seen yet, hamburger hill is getting some work done. New trenches at the top and we're starting work for the attacking side too. Its looking pretty good. We've started constructing new bunkers for the van field and jungle field too. Winter is <swear filter> on old cover.

i have my ideas on paper right now and still need to run them by pete for the "go-ahead" to attempt to build them. do we have a resident midway "carpenter" or "architect" that could help out? the bunkers i have in mind will be harder to build than just putting up some pallets and may require someone who has an idea how to build things. blink.gif

the difficulty would really only be in whether you want to hide behind it or IN it. The fuselage could be made using a series of various sized Hexagon (or Octagon) frames. Skin 'em in strips of plywood. The wings would be similar fashion with an obvious differeng shape. I've got a couple fence posts here that could be used to anchor the main structure.

i would say "behind" it would probably be the best course of action. making fuselage that is player safe and friendly sounds like an unecessary option. It will be a plane crash so i doesnt have to look perfect. i would think the wings could just be straight up plywood, if we can get a saw to round the wing tips. if pete okays this, im definatley gonna need some help making it. wacko.gif
