What Are You Doing in June?
Ok … here’s your chance to show your true colors. I’ve been talking about this project in my back yard for a while now, and next month I’m actually going to get it going. This past winter the channel that holds the creek in my back yard finally collapsed. It was a well designed project, but it incorporated inferior materials and the years of moisture and sun have rotted out the timbers. Now I have to remove all the old rotten timbers and replace them with new pressure treated ones. I would love to do the job with concrete, but that is too expensive and too time consuming.
I could really use your help! I am taking some time off from June 19 to June 27 and I expect I will be working on this project everyday during that time. If you are available to help, could you send me an email or give me a call to let me know when? As the time gets closer I will plan some specific activities based on the amount of help I can round up. I also plan to provide anyone who’s willing to help with food and beverages. We’ll probably have a big barbeque at the end of the week. Some of you have already offered to help but didn’t know the exact dates I had available. If you could let me know when works best for you I would appreciate it.
Thank you all so much!
Oh my….wrecking, hauling, banging, hammering, drilling, building, wood, mud, dirt, earth, water, sun, rain, sweat, smashed toes and sun-burned nose, muscles remembering their function, friends, cooperation, pats on back, muttering under breath, giggles, epithets, starting a job and seeing it finished, satisfaction, joy of job well done…..I can’t think of a better way to end the school year. Add a couple of power saws and I will be on cloud nine.
Will know better the dates available in a week or so, but should be at your beck and call (kiddo will be in Mexico, the lucky duck).
If you need more help, I might be able to enlist the help of a couple of terp buddies (of the male, and therefore, more muscley kind, than I).
Yay! Sorry your boy can’t be here, I’m sure he will be having more fun than us. It will be great to see you. Any time you have to offer will be wonderful.
Chief back breaker! We will be in TX that week to visit sons graduating from college and Fathers day in one fell swoop. So…that means i will be there prob on Sat the 24 and/or Sun the 25th. Sorry to let y’all do the back breaking grunt work first but someones gotta do it…mights well be you!
grins. looking forward to seeing your pad. bp
PS need an addy so i can locate y’all. bp
Bob, Get in contact with Mel. Or I will have her call you. I’d rather not post my address or phone number here. I’m in Orlando at the moment, I’ll be back late tuesday night.
Thanks for the offer to help!
I’ll try to be there as much as I can, barring injury or expensive gas (oh, wait . . .)
Charity will be taking her licensing exam on Monday, and we’re off to vacation on Tuesday, but I’ll do what I can on other days.
That’s great, Chris. I appreciate whatever you are able to offer! Thanks, again.
