Any Carpenters Near Surrey, BC?

[Joe Wood]

I shipped three of my Kits up there for a new Japanese garden and my customer is going to need an installer with at least one helper, maybe next week or the week after. Should take a week + to install everything. Is anyone interested, or know someone who might be?

I always thought a carp was a kind of fish (not that I know any personally, but that's what I heard) and therefore they would be unlikely to be members of SMC.

I think there are some in the Fraser River.....

Hi Joe, I forwarded this to my nephew, he might be interested, I'll let you know.

[Jim Koepke]

This did stimulate my interest but without a passport, beside being a long drive for me, it was just a little rousing.

Heard back from my nephew, he's interested but swamped with work right now, which is a good thing for him, so can't help. Was kinda looking forward to seeing it come together, looks like beautiful work. If you want I can post a link on Canadian woodworking and Home Improvement forum to your post, I think it's OK there unlike here.

[Joe Wood]

That would be great Doug, he's having a hard time finding the right people up there.

Assume Carp(s) is an acronym but I’m floundering trying to find it related to construction or woodworking. Someone help me out.

[Joe Wood]

It's short for carpenter Michael, tried to change the title but can't.

Thanks Joe. Can’t believe that didn’t occur to me. I can stop referring to acronym dictionaries now.

Posted the link last night, 64 views so far and one like but no responses, I'll keep you posted.

[Joe Wood]

Got a link to that post Doug? I could add some more Info to my request

[Doug Garson]

Can't post direct links on this forum :mad: but you can cut and paste this if the mods don't delete it.

Wow we still haven't found anyone so let's try this again,

All the pieces are cut, finished and sealed. Here’s the Installation files for you to take a look at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pb8odkyij...Vepe1FBFa?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pb8odkyij2cyhw6/AADPf3f_YzPGsKtjVepe1FBFa?dl=0)

The moon is complete just needs installing, the torii needs to be assembled first, as does the roofed entry.

I hope someone can help with this, or pass my name onto someone who could. It’ll be fun satisfying work and will look great in your portfolio!

These are 3 similar structures, the same roofed entry I shipped to England, the moon gate went to Vancouver, BC, and the torii is a local San Diego install.

Joe saw and liked your post a CWW and then it disappeared, not sure why. Suggest you PM one of the mods there and ask why, might have been a glitch.

[Joe Wood]

wow thanks for the heads up Doug!

[Doug Garson]

If you check the Who's Online tab you can see which mods are online.

[Joe Wood]

How do I tell who's a Mod Doug??

Callee and Schor are both mods, thought the list identified the mods but I see they just use a different color text. What I suspect is they consider your post a commercial since you are a business, my post is still up, I can add more info to it or you could suggest to your customer that he post the request.

[Joe Wood]

yeah I just replied to your thread with more Info Doug.

[Doug Garson]

They may consider that a commercial also, time will tell. They are usually reasonable but they're quite strict on keeping the forum commercial free. On the other hand I find CWW much more lenient on off topic discussions than the mods here. Up here we've had weeks long discussions on topics that would be shut down on this forum as soon as they started.
