Am I the only one who wants to see a 400 square foot fire pit? What kind of fires is that homeowner having? Is this some kind of Aggie Bonfire thing???

 

I'm going through all of this for the first time. I also want to see this fire pit. Part of me would like to imagine that it is 200ft by 2ft to create a wall of fire across the front of the property to scare trespassers like a fire moat.

 

He said it was 10x40, and someone else did the math.

 

I would guess he meant a 10x40 fire pit area, but it certainly is more fun to think about a 400 square foot fire pit all lit up.

 

During that 1 month where I didn't ship the book, I worked an average of 75-85 hours each week.I installed a 210 foot paver walkway and 2 sets of steps, followed with a small 10x40 foot firepit in the homeowner's back yard.Landscaping to dress up the job in the front consisted of removing an ugly, overgrown shrub and planting a Japanese maple in its' place, along with decorative flowers and 5 yards of mulch in the front bed.

 

Nope he specifically said he did a small 10x40 foot fire pit (that's 400sqft)

 

 

Maybe it was like the stone henge model in This is Spinal Tap and he meant inches instead of feet.

I'm pretty sure I will see CAK this weekend at a local con. Anyone need any messages relayed?

 

:insane:

 

Encourage him to get one more strike :wishluck:

 

 

Hey, no one ever hit a homer with the bat on their shoulder.

 

He's gotta keep swinging.

Nominating "peterpark" for the Probie list. Purchased as couple books from him on 9/26. Reminded him and requested an invoice on 10/1:

 

Hi,

 

I took some books in your thread about a week ago and I don't believe you've been on since then. Just wanted to make sure the thread was still active or whether I should disregard.

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

 

His response on 10/5:

 

Still active \(thumbs u I just need to tally and send the request... Coming soon

 

Pinged him again on 10/15 and he didn't bother responding. I know others have had similar issues, but not speaking for them. This was after I had completed a successful transaction for 200 bucks with this same seller, so I'm stymied by what went wrong. Regardless, I think it's a good idea to get him on the list so others don't have the same experience.

That's right. You sold something to him that he reneged on, right?

Did you PM him separately about the nomination and has 72 hours elapsed?

 

I did PM him, but not 72 hours ago. I'll wait till the time has elapsed, not that I think it will matter in the slightest.

 

Premature eNomination, CKK. Happens to the best of us. Next time just think about baseball or Rosie O'Donnell.
