Work begins (more updates-WIRING!)

Not much out there regarding pics... the most recent where on the Interstate club board, but the poster must have not kept the links up, since the pics no longer show. I no longer have an online storage for them... so, nope... no other pics.

I looked, and sure enough, I still have photos of Hellanbach. As one of the top 5 home tracks I've ever seen, I'd like to post them in a separate thread just for them. Is that okay with you?

[Mr56p]

That's cool with me.. thanks!

Now... whats the progress on the re-build! :tools-hammerdrill:

[waaytoomuchintothis]

Allergy driving me crazy today, so I'm playing on the computer. Thanks to you, I have something real to do! Thanks, Larry!

Best remedy I found for what 'ale's you... :orcs-cheers:
Seriously... hope you get above that mess soon... looking forward to what you got in the works.

I forgot to mention... There will be blocking to hold the cross beams in line, and to nail the sheets down. Below the bridged portion, there will be a standing crutch that spans the underside of 3 of the cross beams. It suddenly occurred to me that someone might think those 8 foot long 2X4s could stay themselves in place. In that case, please use blocking between them. Its very important.

Get a double bacon cheeseburger, wash it down with a cold one and get back to work :)

[waaytoomuchintothis]

Ugh. I'll see your cheeseburger and raise you two huge egg, onion, jalapeno, bean, chili, cheese and rice burritos smothered in ancho sauce and green chilis. Oh yeah, and two cold ones. Woof.

I'm staggering back to work now...

Naw, Deliverance was over in Georgia. That's a different world from South Louisana and South Mississippi.

I'm still rolling the name around in my head. There's so many things that mean something to me from being a boy on the bayou. For example, when I was young, the best Mardi Gras King Cakes (named for gateaux de roi, but actually similar to a coffee cake pastry), came from Randazzo's Goodchildren Bakery in Chalmette. People called our little boats "pirogues", but we would have thought that strange. We called them bateaux, or petite bateaux. There is one hot sauce and its name is Tabasco, from Avery Island. Then there's all the wonderful kinds of gumbeaux, boudin sausage, shrimp, oysters, and crawfish... Amongst the food names, I tend to lean toward "crawfish somethingorother". But there's also the gators, pelicans, gars, kingfishers- maybe I should give up and name it "mine". Maybe not. But I did find a 1/32 scale alligator online last night. That's progress.

As many of them as I have seen and even worked on, I don't know the dead strip technology that well. I have lots of printed info, so we'll see when I get that far. I may be recalling your posts to figure it out! I'm not shy about asking for help, don't worry.

Well, that's a thought...
