desperate for permission

[downeastdigger]

I dont know if some of you remember the permission I have been trying to get from the people who had their lawn being landscaped, and found pontils sticking out of the side of the trenches they dug?

I havn't been able to get permission out of them, but I'm not giving up. This is my final try. I thought you'd get a kick out of this letter I sent them today ( I"m a caterer by trade ).

From Bram Hepburn,
the bottle digging guy
OK, desparate times call for desperate measures !!

I could dig the precious, ( hopefully whole) old bottles from the corner of your yard. I would cut the sod carefully, and replace them when digging is finished. I could sift through the trashy dirt and pick out the glass
pieces, so you would get less glass washing on to the surface of your yard next year.

In exchange, I could deliver a dinner for 10 adults to your home, hot and ready to serve. This would be on a date agreed on by both of us.

Please call 603-534-4892 or 207-439-9319 and let me know! This is the last time I will contact you on this, so I won’t bug you again !!

I'll let you know how it goes. Happy digging, Bram

I hope it goes good for you. Did you have a business card for your catering business that you could've dropped in? Otherwise it kinda looks like your just trying to cook them a dinner to dig garbage. Hopefully you get to dig the bottles first in case they have any complaints about the food. Definately keep us posted on how it goes. Swizzle

Yeah, it was written on business letterhead, and each time I've been there they've seen my company van. I'll make sure they like the food

OK... You can dig in my yard anytime. []

With a deal like that they shouldn't refuse. GOOD LUCK!

 

[capsoda]

Me too, You can dig my yard. I had your food and have no problem eating it.[]

Good luck Bram. Hope you win this one. I think it would be a first in bottle history.

It is usually the other way around; "Will feed to Dig."

"WILL FEED TO DIG" I like that !

Hey Bram...

I'm gonna dump a bunch of pontiled stuff in my front yard so you can dig them, feed me and excavate an area where I need to replace the septic system !!!! Kill three birds with one stone!!![] You interested???[8|]

I'll be praying to the "Bottle Gods" for ya. If that doesn't work I have a Gas Company uniform I can lend you.

Hey Zane, I love that idea, I hadn't thought of that one! Eminant domaine, gotta put in that big pipe line. Hey Wayne, I'll be over with the food tomorrow, I better find some WHOLE pontils there
