Good to be back...

Nooner,

Good to see you back. Sorry to hear about the tough times, but it sounds like you're keeping your chin up.

Not a lot of neander-talk here these days, but there are still some galoots lurking about.

So what's on the ww'ing agenda after you finish the essentials?

I've been working on making a steam box and bending form for laminating a trout net or two. Bending wood is one technique I haven't yet fooled around with, but it's in my future.

Chuck Vance

Chuck, where do you get the nets after you finish your form? I've been looking at doing this for awhile.

Thanks! Joe C.

Very nice to see you back.

Hey Nuno, been there, done all that. Nice to have you back on board.

JOAT Charity ain't giving people what you wants to give, it's giving people what they need to get.

Welcome back.

Good to have you back, Noons.

Drop by

(Note to Noons: Welcome back, dude.)

- Yea, though I walk through the valley of Minwax, I shall stain no Cherry.

G'day Noons, funny that you come back on scope when I am about to drop off! You're not the first to comment on Masterton, my BIL led them through the court system and handed them their head on a platter. It cost them more than the house was worth in the end.

I hope that you are now back on track and the house wasn't a dissapointment.

cheers,

Where you orf now? You still in Vic?

Yeah, they're hopeless. I could live with that if they were not so dishonest to boot. Their building "supervisor" bordered on the criminal. That really gets up my nose.

Fair Trading gave them a hiding and they basically had to do all things we asked, no extra cost and they had to fix what we thought was wrong. Only one thing remaining and they are making a "last stand" on that one. It's gonna hurt them more than it hurt me!... :)

House looks very good now. But we had to go through hoops to get it the way we wanted, not the way they wanted.

Lots of finishing stuff for me to do now, though. Mostly finish carpentry like Chuck noted. Yeah, I had to learn all sorts of things about framing and hanging doors and such. Good fun.
