Hi, I'm back
I appreciate the last post suggesting we convert our efforts to cash, thereby maximizing the immediate impact of our donation. But the giving is for the giver as well, and I would prefer to see the direct product of my sweat be delivered. Egotistic perhaps, but there it is.
My vision of how this might work is to have multiple and similtaneous rendezvous around the country. Laura, could you host one in Boston? John, Lakebay; me, Lexington; Mark, Ontario; and so on. I think we could get ten sites and produce at least ten frames. Once those frames are completed, we gather them to a shipping location and send them via a pre-selected partner along with a small crew of framers to erect them.
Ideally, we would be connected with a local aid group that was involved with housing relief that could then perpetuate our efforts. Someone has suggested that Wood-mizer has probably already sent over several of their mills. Finding out who it is that they're working with may be a step toward finding our partner. Does anyone on this thread have a connection to Wood-mizer or the inclination to develop one?
All for now, more later.
Bob
