Calling all Carpenters! We need your help!

Hi,
 
If there are any of you out there who are skilled in carpentry work we can really use your help. We have a 16 X 24 outdoor wooden building. You may have seen these at Home Depot. It is the barn style building. We are so close to completion and this is where you come in.

Here is what we need to finish the building:

  • Install two outdoor doors. 
  • Install two indoor doors. 
  • Frame for the outside doors and finish work for this. 
  • Install lights.
  • Install ceiling fan.

 
The outside doors will require some creative carpentry work since there will need to be an overhang built with flashing and the shingling the smaller room covering since the door will be larger than how the wall is designed. This may sound confusing in my e-mail, but you’ll understand better when you see.
 
I bought the doors, 2 x 4s, drywall, and siding for the building. I know there will be some other things needed and I can get that as soon as I get the volunteer carpenters.
 
Here’s the thing. When this building is complete it (even though it is a small building) will be multipurpose. We have a bathroom and a small office in there. But, this can be used to hold all the birthday parties I get phone calls for. That will be a big source of revenue for Yogie and Friends. The other thing is that the summers are hot. It is harder to get volunteers willing to sit outside in the heat and sell novelties and entrance tickets to Yogie in the hot summer months. I have several retired folks who would volunteer their time for us indoors. We have an A/C unit in the building.
 
I can also hold meetings and volunteer training in here and also do small fundraisers in the off season. This will also serve as a small gift shop.
 
Anyway, I think you get the picture.
 
If you can help, then please e-mail me or call my cell at 318-286-1145. I’d like to get this completed before we open again in April.
 
For the cats!
