The wall has been taken out and I have decided on a blue tarp (to represent the north) and gray duct tape (to represent the south).

Bill,
If I may, I suggest you run the duct tape diagonally. That way it will brace the tarp better and hold the polygon vertical.
Hope everyone knows I am just kidding about this.

Having worked as a Joiner / Carpenter both in the workshop and on site, I admire your skills, you must have served an apprenticeship in carpentry or another related building trade.I am aware that you were a building maintenance manager, but you must have had practical experience also. :{_}: Because it looks very professional, and for my tuppence worth re strength, the sheets are best put on horizontally and the joints staggered. :{_}:

Is it done yet? Or, do we have to wait until May to find out what it looks like? :D

Don, those dang Christmas lights stopped production. Then I got sick. Then I had to take down the lights. Then I started working on the name tag project. Then I spent the last three days working on the old house I'm going to tear down. Then I...Uhh, what was the question again? :lol:

Don't worry Don, we definitely won't make it a project at the Bash. You can leave your claw hammer at home. :lol:

Hey Bill, don't let them raz you. If it was fast and easy to get done then it wouldn't be called a "project".

The kitchen remodel started in March and ended about Thanksgiving. I wish I had a nickel for every time someone asked "How's the kitchen coming along".

You are retired after all, what's the rush?

I won't let them get to me Doug. The nice thing about retirement is you don't have to get it all done in one day. If I get tired of one thing I just go on to another for a while. :D
