Now the cathedral ceiling area is a different story.  One of the guys thinks they attached the Sheetrock directly to the roof rafters.  He doesn’t think it has a truss system with space above.  They’re going to return with an infrared camera to look for hot spots to see of any insulation was packed between the joists.  

Wait till you get a fire in one of those damn cathedral ceilings, and you have to pull every bit of the drywall down to get it all out because there's no attic.....

Makes for dang miserable New Year's Eve for everyone concerned.

Well that will let me sleep sound.   LOL!  I am glad to say we finally went to an artificial Christmas tree.  Backs just too ganked up to be hauling around a live 12’ tree anymore.

Been away from the bench for a while traveling to see our daughter.  Got back to it this morning.  Did some touch ups on the camo where I mis-masked and had primer edges showing.  
this is right after hosing it down with leveling thinner to blend in the touch ups.  

And my new squirrel (distraction)….

This thing is light years away from when I was flying back in 1999.  It’s a damned computer now.

It’s amazing that this flies at all, without wings and engine 😲 ! As you say, technological progress is beyond the understanding of us, old men …😉

Hubert, with enough thrust, anything can be made to fly. 

Just got to make sure Scott's throwing arm is up to it. 

On a separate note, have you seen the RC 777 this guy built? That's large scale...

Actor/Director/Producer Tyler Perry is into the big jets as well.  He owns a huge hanger in Atlanta GA that’s on his “compound” where his mansion is.  He has a C-17 about the same size as the 777 in the video.

Scott, this is the same guy that did the C-17 for Tyler Perry.
