porch project!!

[juanbenae]

few shots of yesterday's project, a new porch for out back. not fasten to the house or concrete so in theory it could be pulled away, cleaned out from under, or possibly vermin removal. mooched most of the under pinning, around $240 for the redwood.

[juanbenae]

there were two joist added mid span in each box parallel with the slider, just no pics.. i was close to deckin then, no time for a photo

[juanbenae]

was not aware it was so blatantly derogatory. meant no harm, hope it did not offend anyone. mods, if you must delete do so, i just wanted to share my deck project.

I no longer have a dog in this fight. I had a problem with the title, it was changed. I'm not a PC nazi, just have strong feelings about that paticular name & how I witnessed it used 20 years ago. BTW, nice porch.

[Rick Lee]

Lighten up, Francis.

Thank you for your service, and do you hate the trunk monkee too??

I am not aware of what the term means, so I have something in common with the OP.
When I first read it I thought it might have something to do with those trunk monkey commercials. I'll google it after this rant.
Depending on it's slang interpretation I'll probably be careful not to use it in a context that could be construed as insulting.

Until then .........

Anyone thin skinned enough to be offended or scared by two written words when then was obviously no intention to disrespect or insult needs to get a life.

My parents taught me that sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.
They didn't tell me the world was gonna be full of manly men.
You know the world is screwed up with that PC crap when a string of letters written innocently gives people an excuse to act all O'fended.

Now howz that for a major league rant?

By the way, the next time anyone writes the words "saltine crackers" I'm reporting it to the mods

EDIT: OK, I looked it up and that's just stoopid.

Lots of francis's out there.

Oh my.......
Real men are going extinct.

Noted. Perhaps the O.P. was calling himself a monkey while jumping around making that sweet addition?

Sorry you experienced a bad reaction from informal talk, and thank you for your service. I can't count how many times I've been called a white boy/gaijin/etc, been ignored, or had a door slammed in my face. Sometimes you can't cure ignorance.

I was a bit surprised by the title of this thread as well. I'm from the Detroit area, and porch monkey is not a nice term. That will get you in a fight, and rightly so. Its a racist term.

Pretty clear car 311 was not intending to offend.

Nice porch btw!

Let's continue reading while PAUL spanks his Monkey.......

I guess ricer is fine?

[CHICKS]

car 311 nice porch, looks real nice in redwood. Edited - Z-man.

Another one who knew what the two words meant, cringed at first read, but knew it had to reference something else.

Bad choice in words, but no offense was meant with the post.

Nice porch, hope it holds up, since you made it moveable.

[dewolf]

Hell I'm a white porch monkey. I love sitting on the porch with a coffee and a book.
