Grumpy's at it again. Cutting bean sticks in the middle of winter.





As usual, there's a story here.

83 year old widow lady calls me up asking if I have any bean sticks, needs some NOW.
What's the hurry, it's middle of the winter. She cultivates the ground and puts the sticks in place the first of Feb, then plants the beans next to the poles on good friday. That way, she doesn't have to take time off from the rest of the garden when the beans start running, the sticks are already there. She lives alone and raises a huge vegatable garden and supports herself by selling produce out of the back of a pickup truck

Work party, donated logs...bunch of 5/4 X 8ft pine sticks.

Around these parts we call Grumpy Old Men helping out, "DO-GOODERS." My hats off to all "Grumpy Old Men" on the Forum.     smiley_clapping smiley_clapping
Since I retired I really like work: It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

Good job Piney.  Our group hasn't decided where our next project will be, but I look forward to it each year.

The grumpy ole men ain't dead yet, although 2 of the original gang have passed on.  Bunch of us got together today and fixed up a small house for an elderly widow down the road a ways. House was built on concrete piers which had sunk in the soil. Walking across the floor in the house was about like trying to walk on a trampoline. We used a bunch of hardwood wedges (cut on my bandmill) to force the foundations back level, then ran 2 sets of 8X8 cypress beams the full length of the house. These were set up on new concrete piers. Floor is now level and plenty firm..She treated the whole crew (seven of us) with a fantastic lunch of home-made beef stew over rice, speckled butter beans cooked with bacon, green beans, delish home-made rolls, lemon pudding, and all the sweet tea we could drink...

It was too dark under there to get any decent pictures, and I was too busy stuffing my face to get pictures of the lunch. Besides, if I had stopped to take pics, that bunch of rednecks would have eaten it all before I got to the table... ;D

You're a good man Pineywoods. Very nice that you guys do this kind of stuff. I wish I knew of a crew locally that does this. I'd join up. Sometimes a person just needs to do something for their fellowman and not have dollar signs attached to the act.

How old you gotta be to qualify as 'Grumpy'? My wife says I am sometimes when I get back in and sends me to the shop for a fix. Usally iron or wood and I'm almost back to normal.

Oh, I just boxed in a large room so a new mother would have a spare bedroom for her son when the new baby arrived. Old house and not a plumb wall around. Does this help me make the team?

Do you Grumps get up to northern Minnesota often? I've got a backlog of projects that's going to take me about three lifetimes to finish

Here's the latest project from the grumpy old men..

We found out about a young man who loves to deer hunt. Unfortunately, he can't hunt much. Had the misfortune to be born with severe birth defects. No legs, no neck, deformed arm and a host of internal problems. Donated logs and materials and we build this..


 

Gun ports on 3 sides, wheel chair accessible, carpet on floor and walls, insulated. Deer season here lasts till around new years, by then it's COLD.



 

Can y'all guess where we are from ?
