Good reads

I can’t help you with your structural support problem but your library looks beautiful. Most of them have a sign saying “Take a book, leave a book” or something. I’m not sure I would look at a library like that unless it had some specific invitation on it.

I am not sure a rectangular planter would have enough stability in the back-forth direction. It would solve the side-to-side stability issue, but you almost need a square or cross-shaped planter. Unless you use a post behind it as you showed.

Your garage has a tiny amount of clutter. It is not filthy like Daniel’s apartment. And he was insane. He would run a propane stove indoors. I liked him, though. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was dead. Cid is dead. Uncle Beb is dead. Kyaela is probably dead. Dammitboy is probably dead. Bill Lowerre is probably dead. Daniel may have just disappeared but his health was crap and he was engaging with dangerous people and doing stupid things, so his odds aren’t good.

It would be funny if Mark outlived us all. lol.

Amen.

Lol. Good idea on the sign. I was hoping to be done with the library by tomorrow, but it is looking doubtful.

Get some screw eyes for wood and tent stakes. That’s used as an extra measure for light sheds in strong winds. It works for aluminum which can lift like a wing.
Why would you need an excavator for a 2 foot hole? A post digger and maybe long iron bar. Just don’t hit any piping. I don’t know your city rules but it’s usually dial before your dig in most places.

You could always soakk the ground to make it softer. The backup post is a good idea but you might be adjusting those from time to time as you would tent spikes. You might want to line the bottom with gravel.

My father at 80 years old dug over 8 feet deep to access our water line and with a long trench with steps in about one day. He would look tired and I would ask if I could help and he would just say no it was o.k.

I don’t think you need an excavator unless it’s body by Reggie. Then you won’t even be able to break surface with a shovel under that kind of restriction for work.

Just dig to help veterans with PTSD.

You could put a line or flat strap over the top and stake it in the ground.

Library should be in the lawn by Thursday. I know none of you can wait. I’ll put a chess book in there.

You’re going to give away a chess book? lol.

Yes, lol. One of Bruce Pandolfini’s. I have a vision that this library will be used by women in their 40s and 50s with some 8 year old girls. I’m curious how long the chess book will last lol. Maybe one of the woman in thier 40s will bring it home for their 9 year old son, lol.

That’s sexist. lol.

It does. I just got it at amazon for 10 bucks. I’m supposed to register the library so people can go to the LFL app and see libraries near them.

That planter is so solid, I could not drill a screw imto it. It’s just on my magnets.

I could have screwed it in by hand with a screw driver. Probably the only here besides Ben who could.

That’s how you and Will are alike with your wood working.

Yoga handstands but can’t even wind a clock. You could have Marty hold your hands and help you.

Hope it brings to you what you need. I don’t need your chess, woodworking, yoga, and especially not your cancer from woodworking you can’t actually do. Go through the motions get the work and results it’s all that matters.
You’re no blessing and acknowledgement. Just hope your forgiving when God brings to you what you deserve for that.

Maybe they will stain it with excrement you need .
Take your share of crime and victim hood. It’s just s small box with books.

As easy and effortless as you made it, it should be for anyone to destroy it.

This guy was lucky they used soap. You might not be and want to ask to borrow some.

This was a bit sad as people with children and children loved the idea and lost a resource and free treat.

I mentioned I had several children’s books from simple reading to more advanced with wonderful stories. I even offered to ship you some.

You could have said no thank you but you didn’t even acknowledge me. You just played your didn’t see it , ignore. And then tried to appeal to women over 40 as the yoga body chess intellectual who built the wood structure like some solid dwarf from world of Warcraft.

You didn’t do the work.
