Getting better about asking
Well, I don’t know if this is actually better, but at least it’s more proactive than not doing anything.
Sent this email out tonight to about a dozen folks. We’ll see.

RE: Extreme Makeover: Garage Edition
OK friends, I find this a bit harder to do than it should be, but I need to ask for some help.
Last summer a shelf holding lumber and doors and boxes in my garage broke and fell. It is time to not only fix that issue but to clean out the junk that has accumulated in my garage for the past nine (9!!!!) years. I need the space to store a clawfoot bathtub and a motorcycle. (And yes, there’s a story there. Are you surprised?)
The problem is that while I’m able to lift a 4×8 3/4-inch piece of plywood onto its edge, I’m too short and too lacking in upper body strength to do much beyond that. And that’s only part of the problem in there. (oy!)
Anyway.
I’m just wondering if you could spare a bit of your Saturday this weekend to lend your muscles (and power tools, if you have them!) to a good cause. It’s probably going to rain anyway.
I’m going to get started around 8:30 a.m. and will knock off to grill supper around 4:30. I’ll have food and beverages available throughout the day. Come when you can and leave when you have to. Many hands make light work and if there’s lot of help I don’t think it will take more than a couple of hours including trips to Home Depot for supplies not previously anticipated.
I’m planning on heading over to the Thorpe building around 6:30 to hear a friend’s band play for Art-a-whirl and who ever wants to can join me. (But be warned: it ain’t baroque)
Hope your program years are all wrapping up nicely. Peace,
So, I feel better for asking. Not that it will be an easy day, no matter what.

Good for you. As far as I’m concerned, asking is the hardest part.
