    Description

    Help us repaint the paneled wall at the south end of our Freight Room. This opportunity will take place during the week of May 18–22, probably with one day for surface prep and another for painting. Responsibilities may include:

    • Climbing a ladder to reach the top of a ~10-foot wall
    • Sanding, spackling, and priming
    • Putting up and working within a zip wall for dust control
    • Taping down protective plastic and drop-cloths
    • Painting with a paint sprayer, roller, and/or brushes
    • Working with water-based interior paint

    Experience with interior and/or professional painting projects is a plus, but not required. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting stained, and sturdy footwear.

    This is a perfect short-term engagement for a small group looking to make a noticeable local impact.
