A Local Business Donation!
I was passing by some guys that were pruning palm trees and other trees located in the area. I asked one of the guys was it okay to take some of the fronds that were cut down. The guy said sure but wanted to know what I planned on using them for. I told him I was building a boat that's about 50% done. He told me to park my car in the nearby parking lot. I had to go get my car because I walked to the place where I was which is really a short distance. So I walked all the way back home and drove back to the location where the men were pruning the palm trees. To my surprise the business owner said they'd deliver all the fronds in the trailer to my house. I didn't expect anybody to donate a service to this project. I won't be picking up any more fronds for awhile. I sorted out the great mass of palm tree foiledge, then cleaned up the front yard. There are people out there who will support an endeavor and it's not always with money. When the time comes, There will definitely be honorable mentions. This small act of kindness has made it possible for me to take this project to the next level. I made piles for the dried and green fronds; and branches that has berries on them. I'm going to make an natural awning for the boat and a humble sunshelter made from the branches. There's just so much of these branches that it's actually possible. I also have piles of palm bark shaped like fins. Also individual pieces that broke apart. I have a lot of fronds that has to dry out, and the one's that are dry I have to process. When loving what you do, having to do really hard work isn't a drudgery because your seeing the result from your tiring labor.
