Well, I finally got around to doing a bit more work on the shop. It’s insulation time!! Here’s what 3 1/2 hours of work (and 3 beers) look like… There’s a bit of scraps… think I might actually be a bit short if this is the tailings from 1 wall. . . . → Read More: Shop getting warmer.

MAME is a Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. Basically, you run the MAME emulator on a computer, and you can play all your favorite arcade games (if . . . → Read More: Arcade Roundup.

Since most of the work was done by one . . . → Read More: Shop is @ ‘Lock up’ I forgot to mention that after all the helpers left on Sunday, we still had a bunch of work to be done… Wife was not afraid to get right in there and help out… She’s may be small, but she’s tough! Amazing… It worked out great, I was cutting the lookout, and she was nailing them in… . . . → Read More: Wife Rocks! Busy weekend. I was a couple guys short, but the neighborhood pitched in and helped out. Once again; great neighbours. Saturday started off with a huge breakfast with Pilsner pancakes and Spulumbo sausages. Neighbor Jay and I got to work finishing off bits that needed to be done before the trusses could go up; I needed to . . . → Read More: Updated! Trusses are up It’s amazing that it only took less than two hours to go from this to this I had a ton of help, and only one minor injury… a twisted ankle He’s on crutches, but hopefully only for a few days.
