[sac-forum] Calling in some favors.....

Hello all, 


The installation of sod in the backyard of our new home concludes the 
landscaping my wife and I worked our butts off to complete before summer hit.  
That being the case, it's time to move on to much more enjoyable projects.  As 
such, this coming Sunday, April 21st, I'll be mixing the concrete to pour the 
base for my telescope pier.

Because a full sized cement mixer won't work in my situation, I'm asking all of 
you for some assistance.  

Here's the deal....I could use a couple extra pairs of arms to help mix up just 
over a ton of concrete.
Now, I know most of you probably detest physical labour as much as myself, but 
it's not that tough. 
In the past, I've mixed a quarter ton of concrete with one other person, and 
that only took a bit under half an hour.  This being the case, I don't imagine 
that this would take more than a couple of hours with 2 or 3 extra sets of 
hands.

Also, I would also appreciate if someone out there could loan me one of those 
"little" cement mixers. (the type that 2 people could carry, or 1 person could 
carry in a couple of trips...)   I'd be more than happy to come and get/return 
it.   In absence of a mixer, I do have a wheelbarrow and a mixing tub, as well 
as a couple of shovels.  If you can help me that morning, all you'd need to 
bring is a pair of gloves, some work clothes and a drink of your choosing.  A 
flat head shovel if you've got it.

And now for the particulars.....

My home is on the West side, near 115th Ave and Van Buren.  I intend on 
starting sometime between 9 and 10am.  IF by chance you can help this coming 
Sunday morning, or can loan me a little mixer, please contact me at either of 
these numbers.... 602-230-7354  or  602-826-0328  


Your assistance will insure an absence of dirty looks at future ATM 
meetings.....  :-)
