Will mow your lawn for frags
 
or sweep out your garage, Help you build your deck Etc. Between setting up the damn reef and getting married in September I can't afford to put anything in the reef. :eek: Any how I would also accept donations, or "Cheap" frags, just cant pay $50/frag at LFS. My lightning is 130 watts PC, so obviously I am mainly interested in GSP, Torch, Colt, Zoos Etc.

I have some stuff at my house that people were supposed to pick up (holding them indefinitely)... **ahem** ...Tony and Jim... **cough**

Maybe we could work something out? :razz:

J/K - but I'm sure there is something I could chop for you... How do you feel about big green fuzzy shrooms? Or purple... or those very radiant mat-like electric-yellow GSP's?

Hey guys that is super cool, GSP is the one I would say I love the most. I would love to have the green or the yellow or both :mrgreen: Mushrooms would be cool also AJ , What part of town are you located in?

AJ_77 06-28-2004 05:55 PM

I'm in Tuscany in the NW - sounds like I might be having a shroom-cutting party some evening soon... Hopefully this week, maybe next - any preferences for people interested?

RobbAdams 06-28-2004 06:38 PM

I am available any time. What flavor of beer should I bring?

AJ_77 06-28-2004 07:05 PM

I have beer. Do you know anything about refinishing decks?

:biggrin:

RobbAdams 06-28-2004 08:15 PM

What kind of finish is on it now? Are you looking to change the finish? or just freshen up the current finish?

My dad and I just did up his recently, we started by blasting most of the old peeling paint off with a powerwasher, and then gave it a quick smoothing with a belt sander. After that you should be able to apply any type of finish to it.

If it has a varnish (Shiny) finish, it could be a lot more work, as that stuff is really hard, However a belt sander should do the trick, just might have to do it twice, once with a coarse grade paper and then once with a finer one.

On another note, I just helped my cousin put in a deck a few weeks ago, and he used this Plastic type of material, that looks like stained wood!! Apparently it will not fade for 25 years guarenteed :eek: This is all I would ever use now after finding such a product, refinishing anything sucks.

If you would like a hand with your deck let me know I love doing stuff like that, I dont have much for wood working tools, however I could probably go over to my old man's place and borrow some if need be.

Just powerwashed the loose paint yesterday - saw these vinyl rolls of decking cover in a flyer, but I think you need sub-floor for that stuff?

Probably end up going with a sanding and stain for now, then when the boards are done in a few more years (plain spruce 2x6) we'll maybe go with the plywood and vinyl cover.

But that other stuff sounds nice too - is that the recycled product, made in Alberta? Pretty pricey... :eek:
