Exciting weekend.
My man James let me know that Andy Nunez, owner of Opolis, needed help moving a storage unit into his back yard. The thing was huge.
The pay was Pizza Shuttle and Miller High Life, a combination that never let me down before. It felt pretty old school to work directly for your meal.
I've always known Andy to be a good businessman and a fine drummer, but he really is the kind of guy with the vision to watch the History channel and put what he sees into action.
We moved the yellow box by placing it on 4 PVC pipes and rolling it, Egyptian style. When the back of the box reached the end pipe, the pipe was removed and placed at the front of the box.
With steering it took a few hours, but it was fun to watch the plan work out.
We successfully pushed the box safely into a discreet tree shading in the back yard, as you can see. Andy said if he was 20 he could live in it.
There were 8 guys or so. Most of us were not the biggest. We started with only one jack, that's why James has that towell there, to protect his hands from intense pressure.
Andy's brother worked the jack and gave directions while guys from The Separation and a nice fella with good sideburns pushed as well.
This along with the garden I've been digging have given me a good chance to work with the earth and my hands. More on the garden in another installment....
