in your dreams. i have moved on dear horatio. i no longer respect and admire spraylords no matter how hard they spray, how hard they climb, or how hard they are.Horatio Felacio wrote:perhaps we should have a something for the inexperienced builders/construction people to see if they qualify first...a blowjobs for humanity project. my dick, ashtrays lips...in his new hot tub of course. we can make a KY version of the man-spray video.
and, you best change your spraylord ways my man. The writing is on the wall because your kind has been put on notice by hardmen from around the world.
I think when and where are yet to be determined and all skill sets would be appreciated. There would be room for everybody to assist in some way.
I'm not sure how much Habitat does in the outlying area but I do know they are VERY active in Lexington. I'll look into it.
The appalachian project that paul mentioned earlier is pretty damn cool.
who would clean that tub ashtray? I can only imagine the tub ring...

i have one of my jerry minions do all the dirty work. they are usually only too happy to clean especially if i regale them with old-school stories and feed them my specialty, polish sausage with kraut smothered in cream sauce.Rags wrote: who would clean that tub ashtray?

Something that came to mind on this: Building an all new house is ideal, but takes a lot of money, coordination and takes months to build.
(No, Extreme Home Makeover isn't reality - those houses take months of planning and pre-building, and I'll bet that if you really price out that process, they'd cost a hell of a lot per square foot! Plus, I really worry about the end quality.)
If we don't get full-on Habitat support, then maybe a good starter project would be a moderate home repair for someone in the area. Something like replacing a falling down porch, replacing some bad windows or re-drywalling a room or two that suffered water damage. (Of course, as anyone with a house knows, it's tough to do just one thing. The same house that has a critical need like that is going to have foundation problems, bad plumbing and a leaky roof!) Thinking 'green' (and practical), projects that improve the energy efficiency of a house (like adding insulation and/or replacing drafty windows) would help a family save on utility bills. (and save the poor whales, who are all boiling to death in the oceans).
Also, something to keep in mind with this sort of process: people need to make a very serious commitment to the task. There are critical parts of construction that must be completed in a timely manner, or serious damage can result, like, most obviously, getting a complete roof on before it rains.
