The stairs are finished!

Well, here they are. This ended up taking waaaay longer than I expected, but I think that they ended up looking pretty good. Now it's time to get back to working on the 7.



Dad, Meg and Erin-- Thanks for the HD gift cards. Here's what I got, first an 18V cordless drill set:



And also this big, honkin' drill press. It's got lasers:



And, I finally got my own engine hoist. This is going to end up being a lot more convenient than borrowing one like before. Even though it's orange, it didn't come from Home Depot. Rather it came from the made-in-China-store.

An engine hoist?????????? You could be approached to open your own outpatient bariatric surgery center,don't hesitate to call for backup if you need it.

humm, what happened to the old hoist? did someone need it back? can you get kids from the made in china store? that could be the way to speed up adoptions, they could probably stock several in each store.

Thanks Mom, I like them too. No they're not slippery and they don't squeak.

Yes Hal, the other hoist has been reclaimed. The owner is under some kind of delusion that he's actually going to use it.

No, I didn't see any kids there. But if they were, they'd be manufactured by Central Pneumatic or Chicago Electric and would be in a generic looking box labeled "HUMAN CHILD." And some of the pieces would fit quite right. And you would have trouble distinguishing between the 10 unique types of extremely similar looking bolts, and where to use them during assembly.
