Hi.. Douglas VanDyke needs a little help. This Sat March 2, 11AM.
As you may know he is having a little health stuff going on right now.. When I asked him what I could do... he said he could use some help splitting a cord or two of wood. good news is rounds are cut to length. More good news is he has a hydraulic splitter that is plumbed to his tractor. He said it cuts in 5 seconds per split. He said a good group to get this done in 2 hours would be three or four people. Split.. load in his truck and back truck up next to house and unload. repeat as required.
I am in.. This Saturday.. 11 AM to 1:30 PM 9908 100th Street. Easiest way... Ward Road.. Turn east on Davis Rd. follow around two turns and becomes 109th Street. Follow out to 222nd Avenue. Turn South ( right ) on 222nd Ave. go south to 100th Street ( private road ) turn West ( right ) up driveway house is first on left. See large blue and white toy hauler / motorhome and red and white toy hauler. we will be behind the house. covered area to work. No lunch provided so bring a snack.. may arrange to meet for lunch afterwards someplace..
Who Else would be able to help. need two or three more please. thanks Dave. 360 256 1632 Douglas number is 254-4575,, but he will not likely hear phone as we will be outside at 11 AM.

You know me...... I'd vote mid morning... but majority rules.
Put me down for 11 unless everyone else says 10.

Douglas VanDyke.. work party is this Saturday. 11 AM and we should finish up by 1:30.
I posted directions on my edited first post in this thread.
If we happen to get too many people... we can probably find some other tasks for everyone to keep busy.. See you there. Dave.

Report of Douglas VanDyke needs a little help
As above... Several friends of Douglas did go to Douglas's house on Saturday.. There were eight of us in all.
Got about 1 1/2 cords split with the splitter and most is stacked on Douglas's porch.
In attendance..
Jim, Don, Daryl, Crystal, Tommy and Annell and Jamie, and myself. Douglas and his son, Eric were also there.
Work went quick.. and by 1PM we were standing around talking and enjoying the tour of his property and projects. Following that, several of us went to Happy Family for a nice lunch and more socializing.
Douglas and Eric were very appreciative of our help, and for me it felt good to help a friend. Thanks again for all who came and helped.. Our fingers are crossed for Douglas that this health thing will be a temporary thing so he can get to work on his projects.
