Today began with a thorough benching.
The Maldon Men’s Shed built and donated some hardwood timber benches for use at Muckleford Station.
The VGR installation crew and the Maldon Men’s Shed on hand to test out the seats.
The hard part for us was digging the holes deep enough for these weighty beasts! They’ve been concreted in and had termite treatment installed to ensure they’re a Muckleford Fixture for many years to come. We spent a long time choosing the height, correct distance from wall for comfort and future building painting, and then choosing a location – it turns out the door is not central, so that changed things a little.
They came up a treat however, Thanks Heaps Maldon Men’s Shed!
Out at Sawmill Road we got to check out the exciting signs warning of Thursday’s road closure!
We then unloaded the last of the materials needed there before we installed new crossing signs, as the old ones were well past their best before date – mainly the posts, we’ve reused any signage that was still good.
We’re still set to replace the crossing at Sawmill Road on Thursday, history has shown we need people from lunchtime onwards, as up till then it’s all digger work. We’ll be on site from 7.30am however for any too eager to miss out on the action.
