The E49 Crew

Overview

The meaning comes from Ecclesiastes 4:9, "Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour."


Guidelines (subject to revision)

1. In order to receive help with a project, you must also be willing and available give help on a project (i.e. work-fare & not welfare). There may be an occasional exception to this in certain emergency situations, but generally this needs to be adhered to.

2. In order to receive help, you must have a plan in mind before the work begins. "I need to clean up the garage" or "I need to fix up my yard" aren't very specific, for example. However, it is possible to get a few people together to help you make a plan at some point, but that would need to be a separate request from the work request.

3. Scheduling will be on somewhat of a "first come, first served" basis, but again exceptions can occasionally be made for emergencies. An acceptable emergency would be if your basement flooded and you needed to get stuff moved out of there in a hurry or had fire damage cleanup. An acceptable emergency would not be "Oh my gosh, I've got 12 people coming over for a party tomorrow night and I haven't cleaned up in 2 months!". Ergo try to make requests reasonably far in advance if possible.

4. While this is a purely voluntary effort, it's a good idea to treat your help well and at least have some drinks and/or snacks on hand while the work is going on. You may even want to spring for a meal for the group, though that is entirely dependent upon your means.
