Many on here know Tim (TheHardStruggler... The cook) and some of you were aware that he had an accident over the weekend. I cannot count the amount of calls and text messages I have gotten today about his condition and I have been waiting for things to settle a little bit before I posted this.
Over the last weekend I had a sort of meet and greet/ wrenchfest... whatever you want to call it. I need to give thanks to Tiff, High2by(Mark and Jackie), Team Willys(Tyler), MelkorsXJ(Dan B.), TNXJ00(Sam), TheBox(Dan P.), ShortXJDoug(Doug), Trailratethis(Eric who might I add didn't do a damn thing), Jeepaddict(Greg) and last but not least, TheHardStruggler(Tim) for coming over to lend a hand.
The goal was to build a new 12'x24' storage building/ workshop in the backyard. Anyone who has ever been to the house can tell you the space is more than outgrown and this has been a long time coming. Friday we had the majority of materials ganthered and we were off. Saturday went great and we got alot accomplished, all that was left was some roofing, doors and windows. Most had to leave or went wheeling as planned on Sunday but Tim and I stayed behind to get it finished.
As we were getting the tin on the roof, Tim hit a slick spot in the OSB and fell approx 10-12" from the roof to the ground. He remained conscious but has suffered a badly broken leg. Broken and displaced fibula, Broken Tibia with a crack that extends up the bone towards his knee, and 2 other broken bones in his ankle. We rushed him to the hospital after EMT's had come to stabilize him and upon examination he was told that he needed surgery. Monday he went to see an orthopedic doctor and the surgery was set for Wed at 2pm. All went well in the operating room and he is on his was back to Atlanta as we speak. A little nauseous but still keepin' on.
For those at the Crawl, You'll remember that there was a group that left out for Atl Thursday to go support Tim in a bullshit court case involving a XXXX neighbor and the death of his beloved pug Buckley. The court has mandated a fence(privacy) to be built within 60 days of the court date. I spoke with Rebecca, they have recieved a 30 day extention on the court order but with Tim having a bum leg, I think we need to band together again to halp a fallen comrade as we have before.
I have heard from others the suggestion of a fundraiser or donation to help the Malcoms and after some thinking and talking it over with others, we are going to have a donation. High2by will be setting up a PayPal account for any funding that may be donated and if you cannot afford to donate, we will be having a work day on a Sat 3-4 weeks from now. This is a terrible thing to happen and he will be on his ass for a little bit so anything that any of us can do to help them I'm sure will be appreciated.
I will continue to make updates as I hear from Rebecca. Please Keep Tim and his wife in your thoughts and prayers.
