Good Morning All: Ryan: When you go to Vegas (I forgot to tell Jim) be sure and go downtown where the Golden Nugget, Fairmont, and 4 Queens are, in the evening, and watch the overhead show, it is spectatular. I think it last about 1/2 hour. It's been several years since I've been their so you might ask at your hotel. I would like to invite you, if you could take a day off, when Ed comes up on March 28th, to come over from NO. Would you give me an e-mail with your phone number? teffy@pernet.net How did you get that address for Aggro's trees so fast? I spent about 45 minutes looking for it and finally got frustrated and posted a new topic. I like the tile work and I think you've got the right idea about doing it in stages - it's easier on the body. Would you like to do the floor right in front of our door? Robert: I assume that you will be here also. Paul: Can you take a day off and come down?? To me, the bad thing about ripping plywood is that you don't have a strong edge to put screws into. I've built my whole layout with # 6 FH wood screws 1 1/2" long. When I connect two 1 X 4's they are 1 1/2" thick, if I'm going into a 2 x 4 I've got a 3/4" grab length. I haven't had any problems with the strength of the benchwork. Also I don't rip that straight so I don't get a good edge on the plywood. I use two battery powered hand drills. The B&D has a 12 volt bat. and the Makita has an 18 volt bat. so I use the B&D for the pilot holes and the Makita to drive the screws. That works out very well. Anyone else want to come?? I'll spring for a real live coffee shop cup of coffee or if you want homemade I can do that. Phil and Jim: You guys sure make me feel good - I thought I was the only one that typed in a reply and then erased it by going back and looking something up. Jim: DON'T PUT THE BRASS TRACK IN THE STAGING AREA!! Be sure that you can get a bright boy on it to keep it clean. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
