Guy Project

I believe there is a misunderstanding out there about the "Guy Project." In short, the guy project is just that, a project for guys. In its true form, it is supplied man labor and time to build, create, design, repair, or any number of those things toward the end goal of something for the guys. It is usually an idea that the guys come up with, plan out, and try to accomplish. For example, Nick wanted to create a Beer Pong table and that was researched by Nick, myself, and Danny. Danny created a plan and we all followed through on it.

What these projects are sometimes confused with are handyman or honey-do projects. This project is completely different from a guy project. In a honey-do project, the idea is usually to accomplish something for the family or build, add-on, or beautify something as a family for the family house. Where as in a guy project, the guys associated with it are required to help as each participant works on the other guy's project. The honey-do could be something that friends assist in after being nicely asked to help, but something they can also turn down if they do not want to help without harsh feelings. A simple honey-do project maybe building cars for a kid’s birthday party or something like that on a larger scale.

My thoughts on the guy project are that each guy gets to choose a project. As Nick had the first choice, it would be either Danny's turn or my turn (after each of us accomplishes a project the system starts over again). Since I have no current thoughts on the next project, I would say that it would be Danny's turn to decide on what we are going to do or at least lead us in that direction.
