    Wife and I have working like nuts redoing the loft in advance of Skye's bday ON TOP of cleaning the house top to bottom and finishing up some painting (from last year lol)......

    Taking a break while the paint drys on the bathroom vanity....

    I will post some pics of the loft in a bit....

    Caveats:

    I got some stuff to do to the Salamander (add feet), some cables to add, a endtable to refinish (and then move the sub underneath it), and a few other odds and ends....

    But otherwise its done enough to show off...

    Gonna host again Dan? Got some new towers that are exceptional :)

    I will likely host again sometime spring/summer. Wife, kids and her family go RV'ing and its just too cramped for me with 6 people in a RV not counting me (plus then we have to kennel the dogs and thats pricey).

    Once I get a feel for when that is, I will throw the date out and we can go from there.

    Yup, I'm there again right now lol.... Sinus infection to ear infection to pnemonia (within 12 hours)....... meds helped kill the pnemonia, but then the sinus's still havent cleared (since 2 weeks ago)....

    The number of times I wonder if moving down south/out west wouldn't be a good choice for me to stop all this sinus crap due to weather up north...

    That would be a good idea lol....... plus I've been told I'm even more of a rear end than is possible when I get to "lightman LSAF dinner" level......

    And I really dont want you to break my legs or choke me out lol.... especially in my own home.
