I caught wind of a parsonage that's going to be built for a church.
I've done work, donated $400 worth of my time and materials at that property and it's a F'n dump. Has too many mechanical problems, laid out wrong for visiting clergy.
I'm not "of" this religion anymore but I advertise in their bulletin.
If I do something, it's always with some type of alterior motive. heh
So, since it's a charity event, I'd be the Master Plumber that pulls the permits and roughs this 3 bath ranch home. I'll see if I can get the supply houses to get me some scratch and dent tubs in, faucets, toilets.
A donor to the church gave 150,000.00 to build a parsonage on-site; the old parsonage is across the road and offers problems not being "there" next to the church. The church will most likely sell that property to put towards the idea of building this structure.
The church will write the donation significantly higher than the actual amount that it would cost; what would they care....they are non-taxable to begin with. ??
I want the job solely for the advertising gain, the video/photo-op, embedded business to business associations I'd gain in this move. Like I said, I don't do "free" without a gain. I'll splash it on my website and pray no one else thinks I'll do it again for another church, just because I did it for this one.
I'm not travelling to Guatamala or Cuba, some foreign land to do god's work, I'm a stone's throw from this job and I see opportunity in my good deed to help others.
Everyone,
Not everyone is as jaded as me, thank goodness. But please list your charitable contributions in the name of goodness and helpfulness towards others on this thread. Be proud of the hardship you've went through to help others, using the tools and hands that employ your destiny into the future.
Of course, others can take advantage of your niceness from time to time, but there's much reward in the name of charity. Prosper is a word that conveys many meanings, and how it is used.
