Johan, 13 July 2007Today was my last day at work and now I've got five weeks of vacation ahead of me! :D Would be nice to get a lot of the construction done before work starts again... I…
Johan, 13 July 2007:lol: Thanks! :lol: Good to have you come by here now and then! I'm very grateful! By the end of this day I'm hoping to have all the OSB's sawn into the right sizes.…
