Obviously I have had little time for the car...
34 days ago, I gutted a clients kitchen, they return tomorrow night and I absolutely have to be done.
We added over 4 miles of wire in the ceiling, all new cabinets, countertops, lighting, appliances etc.
It has been a race but I have a great team!
We are all proud of this one, especially in the short timeframe.

Tuesday, I am back on the car Beek!! :D

Alan, that finished kitchen looks great! Figures, given the work on your car.... :)

It's the one year anniversary of our kitchen gutting/completion. If there's a next time, I will follow your clients' idea: leave for a month! We had great, speedy craftsmen, but a project coordinator who was out to lunch. OTOH, we did get a chance to try a whole bunch of new restaurants!

Thanks guys!
That's my current job discription, project manager.
I had a good compliment yesterday from my electrician...
"In all my years I have never seen anyone capable of lining up the trades at the gate on a Saturday morning like you!"
I had 9 trucks with 16 people waiting at the front entrance of the community at 7:15 yesterday morning. A total of 27 people on site around 11:00 and 6 staying until 7:30.
I'm going to become a motivational speaker next :lol:

I see you're going duals. Found the perfect thing for you car. If you don't want it I'm probably going to grab it, but I won't be thinking about idf's for probably another year and I'd just be hoarding it for myself. http://www.millersmule.com/MillersMuleS ... r-top.html

Yep, saw that, it came off Jeff's coupe. Won't work for me as I am bringing the intake into the side of the duals, not the front.
In any case, if you want it, don't hold off for my sake.

Will do. I'll probably have to snatch it up before it becomes somebody elses. More push to put idf's on it.
