If anyone in Krock has shovels I can borrow, and some scrap plywood to make the forms out of, it will help save some coin on the budget. I'm OK with masonry work, but if any local AW bubbas are more skilled than I, please step forward.
If the ICO (Installation Commanding Officer) has already bought off on the idea (which I'm gonna go ahead and say he has, otherwise you would never have gotten this far); you may try convincing him that there is "training value" to be had by the local SeaBees. If there is not a CBMU on K-ville, there is definitely one in the Region.
That might be crossing the lines. Not sure....but it may be too close to call.

Nope, just checked. No CBMU local. CBMU is tied to Public Works and therefore is under the control of the ICO. Closest Seabee unit is an NMCB in Ft. Worth.
And, no, its not crossing a line. We have several MWR facilities that have been constructed by the local CBMU - several picnic pavilions and an outdoor theater. The K-Rock club (where I'm assuming the Cat is being located) should be an MWR facility. If the idea of the Cat itself made it through the screening process, use of SeaBees for legitimate masonry training shouldn't be out of line.
Of course, there's also the very real possibility of finding a SeaBee who will help in his free time for "liquid compensation".
That's an affirmative -- as @ 15-20 years ago, I enlisted the services of the base SEABEE's to construct the tennis courts @ the local HS when I was on the tennis court "committee". The SEABEE's donated their time and some of the materials for the common good which saved the loco's many thousands of $$$.
YJust thinkin' ... you wouldn't have to ask in the ol' days.
That’s for sure! You need me to steal something?
(Just dreamin'.) Ah the good ole days!Steve

We have very few CEC/SeaBee types here. Most of our PW is contractors. Which is why dig permits have an approval process similar to getting a tourist visa to Cuba.
It wouldn't be any different w/ CECs.

Last couple CEC types were ENS's that could be bribed with a simulator or backseat ride.
I'm not digging on the CEC - it's just that CEC or Civ contract, neither one of them writes the building code.
Besides, you want to find yourself a BUC, not a CEC.

It's not a building code thing, its a "get someone over here and mark the utilities or lack thereof" thing.

The construction is being documented. I'd rather have it up and working than the current collection of parts sitting in my living room and on the O'Club patio when they come to look at it.
