It's going ot be a couple of months befor eI'm fully back. THings are going well, but there's so many peopel affected getting things is taking a while. I have plywood up instead of my garage door, which the water blew up when it came in. I was told teh garage door I ordered last wee will be at least 4 weeks. I cannot put my heat on until I get teh ducts clean, that will be another 2 weeks. I do have studs up and the electrical wiring going in within a couple of weeks though.

Several people have contacted me to order stuff - I'm not even close to being able to ship anything, my inventory is spread out in 3 people's homes in NJ & NY, and all my EVA blocks must be hand washed, about 1,000 of them. I don't even know excatly what was saved and what was lost at this point.

A lot of people have helped me out by picking up tee shirts form Mudhole:[www.mudhole.com] I cannot thank everyone enough for supporting me in this time.

The NERBs and the ICRBE - I really want to attend and get a booth, but I cannot commit to anything right now, and to be honest I hav enot looked at anything pertaining to rodbuilding since teh storm. I dont' have enough hours in teh day as it is, it's just crazy.

Hello Billy.

As the Britts say Keep a stiff upper lip(pip-pip cheerio and all that rot).

Take it steady but don't rush too much or the words repete or redo will become "words of the day".

We are all pulling for you!

Straight Walls and Tight Screws.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.
