    Just remember the door you open might contain an all paid trip to an all inclusive ten year hotel stay with a scenic view of other hotel rooms and lots of oatmeal!

    Sounds ambitious to me...but what do I know, I'm still barely (not even?) halfway done with my attic insulation upgrade project!

    Well at least it entertains you guys. :rofl: :lol: I really don’t want to be doing this but it’s needed for a lot this year:picard:more than normal as a matter of fact:whistle:

    Your getting a look at my brain apparently. Once I start a project it gets done in my ocd fashion do it right do it once.. Hopefully...

    You didn't tell them what you were building did you?? :jaw:

    Heck, at this point I'm thinking you need to have a lead vehicle, and look out for low bridges. :rofl: :lol:

    Or perhaps you're secretly building a woodcutting transformer bot.:eek:
    that really would be cool though.:cool:

    Well, depending on the sandblasting, you might just break even there. ;)
