Hello everyone. i will be at the Museum location for the next few days 24/7. If i am not, my partner Damian( Who some of you have met), or someone else, will be there. I would appreciate a few unskilled extra bodies to help with the following:

painting
sweeping and mopping, general cleaning
rafter cleaning ( Gypsum residue left on beams), i have a scaffold coming tomorrow
moving of games, including truckload ( Hoping for tomorrow, could be as late as Fri)
assembling of pinball machines, legs, and heads
some rudimentary tiling ( maybe vinyl sticky crap to start in washrooms)

I also need some skilled help if possible:

Electrician , licensed( little bit of rewiring)  mainly to the panel, i can lay out the rest if need be
Assistance troubleshooting some of the games i am going to put in the auction( Small stuff like power supply swaps, board swaps, and things like that, although someone skilled in monitor swaps would be greatly appreciated as well), mostly for the video games. reason is I have 650 things to do, and the clock is ticking for this auction: i want it to good from the get go, only get 1 chance for first impression, etc.
window installer, 4 small ones ( Have them already)
flashing, have that too,about 60 feet

For the day of the auction, i am also going to need a little help( If possible) I would love to have:

Game movers( around the building)
Traffic control ( To direct people into a free parking lot down the street I am going to arrange), and keep  them out of my neighbours lot( Prefer to start out right with him as well)
admin assistant ( to do the pre auction and post auction admin)

I will feed you, and if you are a rummy I will give you some beers( Not until after the auction is done), hell I might even let you play the games for half price( 2 tokens), just joking free play, but that is about the extent of it for now. You will also be an invaluable asset to this whole museum undertaking, and naturally you will carry favour with me for any future game purchases i may do, I can be indispensable in that regard.

Thanks for the support, and to arrange privately rather than publicly, feel free to call me at 416 759 9608

The location is 74 crockford blvd, unit 3 ( rear)
It is near Warden and Eglinton, 2 blocks North and 1 block East


PS Feel free to pass this number on to telemarketers instead if you wish.

thanks
Gerald

What time do you expect to run the auction from ?

I'll be leaving Ottawa very early ( 4:30am 'ish ) so I expect to be there  by 8:30am or so.

Unfortunately I can only stay a short while.  
I have to head back around noon.

I should be there from around 8:30-noon.

I'll help out as best as I can.

See you there !

Cheers,
Steph

I can help too, the day of

Also I am coming Friday for a bit...to drop sinistar and hopefully pickup if you got for me...

I can stay for a little bit and help out (ie laugh and point and mostly smoke)

But I  can certainly show whomever is there how to test power supplies and monitors etc... if they don't know  
get a meter!

I have to work at my real job back in London so I really don't know how long I can hang..but I will be there around noonish...

I can help on the day of as well, no worries there.

Im there this weekend to assist ...

I am available as always...

I was going to get Bigwig to bring me some rags and stuff for cleaning when i was there the other day waiting...

AND YOU NEED A REAL BROOM!!!!! lol, that worn out old one is terrible!  I gotta make sure i go to Home Depot withthe missus in the next few days (return un-needed materials from our reno) and she is bugging for me to finish my own electrical, but i am pretty available otherwise. just messing with this neo geo cabinet i got from some shyster....  

Being a biggie it is best that i stay on the ground and not up on scaffolding.  I am a terrible painter, but if you just need a wall painted, i can do that (no borders and stuff... I SUCK!) but cleaning/moving/sweeping... i am your guy.


As to tiles, if you are going to tile the bathroom (which is a high traffic area) I would reccomend against sticky back tiles, and instead getting commercial grade vinyl (still cheap stuff) once it is installed properly it holds up pretty well.  Those sticky tiles aren't really rated for commercial applications, and you'd be reinstalling them every few weeks.

WHen i know my schedule this week/weekend, i'll mail you.

I wouldn't skimp on the bathroom if you want to enforce the 'family' aspect of the museum. I understand it is most likely temporary to get things going but, generally speaking, the cleanliness of a bathroom says a lot about the management. Besides that, chicks don't dig dirty washrooms.

I agree , ceramic tiles are best in washroom for both wear and tear as well as cleanliness and ease of cleaning. I will discuss putting tiles in Saturday when Im there. I have done loads of tiling so , heres the offer to do it.

thanks for all the replies. i will be hard to reach via computer, as we dont have one there yet, so anyone wishing to come by, call me at 416 759 9608 to see where im at

thanks again

Ill be by after work tonight and check your pm as to those 60in1s.

Well the weekend is over, my feet have finally stopped hurting, and i am back at work! (Jumping out of truck = Bad for the fatman!)How did the weekend shape up?  Many thanks to all who were there, both on friday with me, Teryy, Terry, George, Andrew, and everyone else (I suck at Dracula, but not as bad as Damian!)  and the rest of the weekend. (I hope Andrew came back, he is a painting MACHINE!!!!)

any pics of current progress?  I may be able to get down a night or 2 this week to help out.
