stevebeilgard Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 well, that got your attention. here's what i have in mind. i need: concrete finisher: pour and finish one 20' x 24' concrete pad, and one 10' x 30' broom finished porch. about 12 total hours work for 2 men. i'll have the forms set, rebar tied, etc. all tools are there. electrician: the sheetrock is done. i need the house plugged, switched, and about 8 more breakers installed. about 15 hours work total time. plumber: i need about 10' of sewer line connected to a "Y", 3 stools installed and 2 shower valves installed. a bout 10 hours work. here's what i have to offer back. i have a nice elk camp setup with cots, porta potti, sleeping bags, and a wood stove. it's actually the unfinished house which is dry, warm, and pretty comfortable. showers will be ready as soon as the plumber finishes. lol meanwhile, we'll shower in my camper. i also have an 18' skiff, old but dry, and a 22' cruiser for fishing. crab pots, halibut rods and salmon rods for ocean trolling. so, stay a week or 10 days and fish all you want. just get this minimum work done in whatever field you choose. one crew can do one job, ie: plumbers do the plumbing. bottom line is, you'll work very little and enjoy lots. it's an offer for a free alaska fishing trip, basically. i'll be there in early may. lots of black bear on the island if you want to come up there for that. check the alaska regulations as i know nothing about bears except i see lots and i don't want one. bring up a crew of 4 or less, and enjoy. you can bring more than 4, but they'll sleep on the floor. you can either drive to prince rupert, b.c. canada, or you'll fly into ketchikan, ak, and take a ferry to prince of wales island. i'll have my truck available, or you can also rent a suburban for $100 a day. you'll have 22 hours of daylight may-september, so you won't be short of fishing time. i also have a good supply of crab pots. finally, i have a 3rd boat. a very nice cruiser that i won't loan out, but will take you out for halibut. you can also use the halibut rods any time. so, there you go. anyone interested can get more information from me anytime. you'll never get this type of trip offered again by anyone. so, start checking with your buddies and see what they think. the beds are in 2 seperate bedrooms, which means 2 guys can bring their wives. watch eagles, whales, mink and more from the living room.

Jeramie Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 The married life cuts me out too! I could do pretty much anything youve listed but would be hard to justify that to the wife and girls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I was in Petersburg last July fishing. It's an amazing place that everyone should experience at least once. i'm pretty close to petersburg, and we fish the same waters. pretty amazing, isn't it?

Adjam5 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 How does one spell... drooling about the offer? . That is one heck of a deal Steve. Being a lecky for 27 years and a avid outdoorsman...I am quite tempted to bite. Just don't know how to sell it to the wife:argue:. We need some drainage work here from the floods we have had the last few months and it will be a extremely hard sell. Thank you for this generous offer.

Thank you for this generous offer. you don't "sell" your wife. you bring her. just tell her about the whales. lol. then, you tell your rich friends at church how you know where there is a cabin on the ocean where they can whale watch all week for free. all they have to do is buy 4 plane tickets, one for you & your wife and 2 for them. or, 3 other buddies. that way, you go for free. i'll tell you, i've put together a bunch of trips like that when i was a poor guy. (heck, things haven't changed all that much, come to think of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
