That's what I wondered but it is actually just to designate these as pre-cut stud length which is 92 5/8 inch in length.

I am thinking about building a cabin and putting it on concrete pilings, there are some prefabs you can buy that have a cone shaped bottom that is under the ground. Do you think that would work well and last a long time? I was thinking if I put some rebarb in them and used some 25k pressure treated concrete they should hold up.

And this guy is da bomb.

Love Spencer's facemask. That's awesome. Looks like a fun ride. I have a friend on the ski patrol over there, and another friend used to be the Assistant Manager.

jimhelm · 01-18-2011, 01:58 PM

yeah, i love that mask. Ippy got it for him for xmas. he got her the cookie monster hat....and they also exchanged snuggies.

I want to take them skiing(learning) there. That's where I learned how when I was appx spencer's age. not that I ever was any good at it....

chrisinhouston · 01-20-2011, 04:16 PM

Got the drywall painted and the new lighting up. Then we moved most of the tools and tool chests back in. Doing a big sorting of stuff on the workbenches so excuse the mess! This a totally major change from the old unfinished garage!

plthijinx · 01-20-2011, 05:02 PM

helluva job man! looks great!!

glatt · 01-20-2011, 07:14 PM

Wow! That looks great, and you did it so fast.

chrisinhouston · 01-21-2011, 07:51 AM

I wanted a big flat screen TV but my wife only let me have the little 13 inch one that no one ever watches in our guest room...

skysidhe · 01-21-2011, 08:06 PM

Great clip Jim. Nice drywall Chris.

You don't want a flat screen in the garage. What if you were watching the ball game while using the saw or something?

I don't know. Just I'm trying to make you feel better.

plthijinx · 01-23-2011, 03:22 AM

but wait! use the Pomegranate Phone shown on this page and your set. all you need are those gloves butchers and fishermen use so they don't cut their hands!

Visiting Paris and spent several hours at the Louvre wondering around with my wife who has never been there before. This is about my 6th trip so I decided to try to capture it in a different way than most of the tourists do.

I would caption these as:

1. Lovely garden statue but my home owner's association would never allow it!
2. If an erection lasts for more then 3 hours call a doctor or you will look this for the rest of your life!
3. Everyone has to take a picture of the Mona Lisa but I rather enjoyed taking pictures of everyone doing it.
4. Who needs to get up close when you can just view it on someone else's camera!

chrisinhouston · 01-28-2011, 04:45 PM

Finished the day and headed back to the Hilton. We told them it was our anniversary when we checked in so today they gave us fresh flowers, champagne and some kind of chocolate decadence!

Captions:

5. "Dad! Mom's going to be really pissed when she gets home and sees how drunk you are!"
6.. "Psssst! Did you just let a really stinky one fly?"
7. Our surprise.
8. Even though it was close to freezing we went out on the 7th floor balcony and set up a picture with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
