HOUSE!

Found over at [livejournal.com profile] roaming's place.

Not mine...yet. This is truly one of the most inspiring, wonderful and gorgeous pieces of reporting I've ever seen, yes, ever. This fascinating man is taking recycled building materials and teaching people how to make their own homes. I WANT ONE, I do, and you damn betcha that I'd work my ass off to get/build one and would be happy to live without dishwasher or garbage disposal. All you have to do is just look at and listen to Eric as he speaks about how his life has been changed by this one man. Can you imagine the pride of ownership involved here?



Really, I can't enthuse enough about this. Could we get this guy, or one of his "graduates" to come up to Kansas City and start something like that up here? Or someone go down there and learn from him and bring it back? Can you imagine the people who would leap onto this bandwagon?

Awesome...talk about faith in action, this is it. Conservatives who nay say can just shove it; this guy is DOING and LIVING what he believes rather than just talking about it.

Help?

EDIT: Having slept on it, I realize that moving Wednesday is not possible. I have a close deadline due on Wednesday (not my fault, KCRF's silly deadlines after having redesigned it and gotten me the rest of the fabric last Friday!) So see new post so I don't muddy this one up any more.

Here I am, hat in hand again. I'm trying to garner help for two points; first, getting my stuff from Lenexa over to the new place. Looks like one load will be on Wednesday, 1pm and if I can get enough folks, I'll rent a truck to take the stuff over.

What needs to go:
2 dressers
1 sewing cabinet
4 corner cabinets from under sewing table
the wooden cutting table top
8 bins of fabric
wire frames of the sewing table
3 glass table tops to the sewing table
6 smaller stackable shelving units

Pretty please? I'll buy the beer or whatever else people want. If there are enough people, we can get the whole thing done in two hours with a minimum of fuss.

Right now I have one guy and one gal and me, who's not supposed to lift more than 25 pounds (yeah, right!)


The second one, the stuff from OK back up here, looks like it has to happen on July 10th. Not sure if I have a truck or if I'm going to have to rent again (if I have to rent twice, that will clean me out financially and scares the shit out of me.) That move, there is a bunch of stuff; a bed, a sofa and some other stuff from Bruce's house. Then there's whatever will be left in the storage unit that I don't get this weekend.

I am going, one way or the other, down to Tulsa this weekend to get what I can into my car and Becky's car.

I hate moving and will be so glad when this is done. Sorry if I'm whining too much. I am damned glad to finally have my own place but I'm sweating how I'm going to get the stuff moved.

Thanks. And if I can bribe folks with beer or drinks or food or whatever, I'll do that too.
