[SCA-BMDL] OT - ISO shovel, tarp, strong helpers

[Christine Hutson]

An ex-archaeologist, I'm good at digging up (and by implication, burying) things.  But remember, when burying, try to remove and then replace each layer of soil separately.....people like me identify excavations by looking for places on the clay layer (or other under-layers) where topsoil has been used for fill.  Never do that.  Replace topsoil with topsoil, clay with clay, etc. all the way down (or rather, from the bottom up).  Just a handy hint for getting rid of artifacts so that archaeologists will never catch you ; )

Oh, and if you're not *burying* your tarp-covered objects, just forget I said all of that......it means nothing, nothing at all.......(*clears throat and moves on*).

And I'd be happy to be a strong helper, except that I'm having rotator-cuff issues.....sorry.  I usually love shoveling dirt, snow, etc.

Looking for a few things quick that I thought someone in the barony
might be able to provide me with: a shovel, and a few tarps, or
oversized old rugs or used carpeting.

Also, I'm planning to move some heavy, tarp-covered objects pretty
soon, and could use some help loading them and unloading them, and
maybe dragging them into the woods a ways. Need to do this quickly, as
these items are starting to smell a bit.

Free pizza and beer to my helper(s)! The strong, SILENT type is preferred.
