I need some recommendations to replace a timber retaining wall. I sent out a RFQ to 4 different places nearby and I only expect to get 1 response.

Valpo, 2 walls ~20' x 5', need to add drainage and possibly create footers for the replacement.

I know I don't want to or have the time to DIY.
Any leads are appreciated. I didn't think it would be this hard to spend my money...

Thought about it but I think I'm tied up with family things. I'd really like to get the CZ out to a match.

I haven't been in awhile. What time do they usually go til? I'd like to go, but have to be back in Schererville to work at 2.

It all just depends on how many people show up. Looks like it's going to be on the cool side so I don't think there'll be a big turnout. I think the latest I've ever gotten out was 1 o'clock.

Hmmm. Might have to give it a shot. Worst case scenario I've gotta leave a little early.

The "straw raffle" idea seems pretty hinky to me. I maintain charity gaming for the IW. There is paperwork, checking account requirements, restrictions, costs, time limits, etc... But, I suppose a registered party could hold the raffle and then donate proceeds to another group.
Here's an idea - buy extra shirts or hats and give them to the kids. I mean, the money was donated for the event after all - unless i'm missing something.
IMO keep it simple.

Hope the new owners keep the track open.....End of the line for Illiana Speedway? Gates to be closed in 2016 - Daily Southtown

After a rough stretch it looks like the Hawks are turning it around at the right time.

Bigretic, Well it wouldn't be a straw raffle as the organization that has the status etc. does free education as part of their design. That is all they do and as long as they were taking part in the Youth day and the monies were going towards the youth shoot it would be all legit and what they do.

With that said a raffle is a gamble that the organization will raise more money than what it cost to do the raffle and since we are coming out with this with money that we are already ahead I would think it was better to just use it for the shoot rather than taking the gamble.

but I'm not the organizer so .... I'm all for getting more kids out and on the range to make more young shooters in our sport how ever that takes place.

Bill what was that one Internet provider you told me about?

Going to be selling off my Benelli M2 Tactical shotgun. Figured I would drop it here 1st and keep it local. $1,050 with extended tube, less then 500 rounds total though her. 21 and over DL and carry card required.

Electricity sucks when you make a boo-boo.




I have a boatload of people coming from work. I think the cool weather will scare most of them away like the rain did last month at the Shotgun Match ... we'll see how many show this time around.

Yup. Go on YouTube and look up arc flash. Or wikipedia

Yup raffles are a pain. They either sell out and make a lot of money, or they don't work.
We had a raffle at the Post. They wanted to make it easy, so they raffled a black powder rifle. But, hard to raffle those off.
They should have raffled a 1911 with a POW/MIA emblem or something.
