She's smart enough to live someplace where you don't mow redwoods.

Kelvin,
Why not kill two birds with one stone? Have a barn (garage) raising.
Pick a weekend and offer beer, pizza and carparts to anyone that shows up
to help you put up your carport. Since it never rains in Southern California,
weather shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure some of the right coast folks would
love an excuse to get out of the snow.
You do it right, and you could probably Tom Sawyer people into dissassembling
your parts cars in the process: "sure you can have the left framminstaff
from my '57 Vauxhaul Vengence...."
