yes, that ornament: the reason i'm here wasting time, dirty, and still without a running track car. :)
however, my serfs (me) have been busy at work building a fortress worthy of serious partitude.
firstly, we begin with the current state of said fortress:
the curtain wall and bailey above are well near completion. the massive walls buttress a solid bailey resting upon it. materials for the outer walls lie on the ground waiting for utilization (read: nowhere good to put the long stuff yet).
their construction is made of boxes and bins. yep, they all contain parts! lots new, and some old that will be cleaned up and reused.
towering above this all is a structure destined to command the landscape, and be just out of reach for the easy grabbing of a wrench 1mm bigger, because you always second guess what sizes you'll need. or the four bolts holding something on will have random sized (yes, this is common. and irritating.)
however, as my astute readers will well know, any major civil engineering project entailing all sorts of medieval technologies will generate rubbish.
the midden heap above will either go for scrap or destined for craigslist and web forums. there's actually some nice stuff in there... some. :)
behold, mortals: my impregnable, growing (and mostly german) FORTRESS OF PARTITUDE!!!
you know i can actually hide behind it. it's fun.
work has actually been progressing -- check out the album: http://picasaweb.google.com/incomplete/ThePorsche944TurboProject
and, because it's just that awesome, i took a photo of my favorite tool, coincidentally being my most favorite 24v cordless impact wrench in the world, also freshly promoted to CEO of the fortress! congrats, impact wrench!
