Gerald cornered me about this weekend before I walked out of the IPF yesterday! LOL! Unfortunately I am back in Gods Country for the next 2 weeks, where the men are men and the sheep are scared!!! Kind of similar to Ruston, La. :)Quote:

No really, I'm excited about going, it's my first time. One day I hope to join all the clubs and help out financially but I've got my own facility issues. I'm lucky, my dad has 8 tickets for baseball, 6 for football, and 4 for basketball. I do catch a couple softball and girls basketball games on my own. Anyway, can't wait, hope to meet some people.
"I have 1 hurdle to clear "
Turbine, If you need coaching on clearing that final hurdle let me know. It's all in the form at our age.
I'll bring whatever I can.
Did I see somewhere that we'd be working the track side also?
Hello everybody, we need some more help here.
What are the plans for the weekend? What time do we need to show up & what do we need to bring?
Show up at 8:30 Sat. morning and bring everything that is on the poll in the first thread.
Talked with Coach Robe tonight, His main concern is to get the Grand Stand cleaned. That would mean lots of pressure washing and cleaning.
Due to the responses on this Website, we are not sure as to how many of you Baseball and Track/Soccer fans can come out this weekend.
Baseball primary goal is to Pressure Wash the Grand stand area and front of Grand Stands. According to poll, we still need about 3 pressure washers. We will need push brooms to wash the grand stand area down after spraying it down with cleaner, then pressure wash the whole area out.
The front of the Grand Stands is the worse area. Full of mold and mildew. We will have a lift to reach up and chemically spray the mold and mildew, the pressure wash it down.
So, bring your rubber boots, slicker suits if you have one, push brooms, and sprayers to spray Mean Green everywhere.
Track/Soccer area needs a complete trash pick up. They also want us to pressure wash the grand stands and general clean up, if POSSIBLE.
Please call baseball tommorrow if you can make it and tell them which days you can make it. This is to get a head count for lunch, if you didn't call show up anyway, don't worry about it, we will accommodate you and however many you bring with you.
Baseball's phone number is 337-482-6093.

I will be there saturday with my daughter & I am bringing 2 pressure washers. One 2800 psi & one 4000 psi. I just love the power of those babys!:D
I will be there also on Saturday. I am also bringing a buddy of mine to help. I plan on bringing 2 shovels. a wheel barrow, some buckets and a push broom. See you there.
RedBug whatever we do, we won't let your daughter handle the 4000 psi pressure washer, it may launch whomever uses it. LOL.Quote:

Thanks again

The 4000 psi pressure washer will be hooked up to a concrete cleaner. You should see this thing......does one heck of a job...:D
Guys it is CRUNCH TIME. We only had 10 or 12 guys today and not enough pressure washers. We lost one for tommorrow and mine died, anyone want to shoot the sucker for me.
We need more people and 5 pressure washers or more for tommorrow to finish up. We also could use water hoses also. What is left is Front 2 high sections, we are pressure washing the entrance way, getting up the mold and mildew from the front walk way entrance. We washed the box seat around behind home plate now we need to pressure wash the grand stand area, seats first and walkup aisle.Coach is very pleased so far. We did not even pickup trash at Soccer/Track area. It is littered really bad. Mardi Gras stuff.
SO I appeal to your spirit, help us get this finished for Fan and Opening day.
Just to let you know, some told me UL Maintenance lost 7 employees and with the hiring freeze put on Universities, it doesn't look promising to rehire them anytime soon. Information told to me today, so let's help UL maintenance with one less chore to do.
Thanks to all of you Cajun Fans who could make it today. They did one heck of a job.

What time Sunday?????
I recieved the email and would be there exept we are watching world class UL softball here in little town called Ruston.
Quite a bit was accomplished today at the Tigue. Almost all of the light colored high area outside the stadium (badly stainded with mold) was pressure washed and looks good. My hat is off to the guy that spent all day up there pressure washing. Most of the concrete outside of the stadium and the entrance is now clean. Both bathrooms were washed from top to bottom with clorox (my apologies to the girl that I suprised in there), they have never been cleaner. The brick wall behind home plate was pressure washed from end to end and is sparkling. The ramps to the bleachers on both sides were cleaned and look great.
We had a large radio broadcasting the women's game from Ruston. Our two freshmen pitchers were outstanding.
Tony came by often and was extremely pleased.
I can't be there tomorrow, but I left my pressure washer (4000 psi) for someone else to use. There are 6 or 7 hose hookups at the Tigue, so there is room for a few more pressure washers. I encourage anyone who wants to help, to round up a pressure washer (and a hose) and go out there tomorrow and help finish the job. The Tigue has never looked better. :D
Have funQuote:

Work hard, play hard, have fun,

Sorry I couldn't make it, my hat goes off to all those who did.
You deserve a round of applause and appreciation.
I got back in town about 4:30 today (Sunday) and stopped by the Tigue to pick up my pressure washer and WOW!. Whoever was there today did one heck of a job! Tony was still there and he was very happy with all of the work. The Tigue is looking awsome, can't wait for fan day (16th) and opening day!!..O..
Sick kids so I didn't make it out at all this weekend.
I would like to thank all those who were able to come out this weekend to help out.
It was pretty much a good weekend, however, not enough able bodied workers to finish or meet our goals. The Front walkways and Front of Grandstands were cleaned and pressure washed. The Grand Stand Seating area was also cleaned. It is amazing how much mold and mildew can overcome a stadium.
We were only able to pick up trash at Track/soccer.
All in all, we got rid of a lot of mold & mildew .
Thanks again to those who helped out and to those who could not make it, Next time.
THANKS FROM Baseball

UslJim, does the Tigue have areas that still need pressure washing? If so is it feasable to do it this week after work say 6 to 9 pm I was out of town till late yesterday. If more pressure washing is needed I may be able to put in a few nights after work. Pls advise
Thx

Call Coach at 482-6093, we did not get the outfield fence washed, some area need a GENTLE WASH, to much pressure could mess up graphic and wash off logos. Check to see if he has some other areas. I work out of town too much lately( red pole, la. )Quote:

If that is the one on the trailer, thank Brooks Bernard. He donated it a couple of years ago. Brooks is a great man!Quote:
