Looking forward to have as many of you as can fit, we have plenty of room!

I've had a few questions about kids and the short answer is that they're welcome. We have a Wii and a media room that we can put some Disney shows on, so if they're of an age to be safe to be left alone please feel free to bring em! We do have one dog and one cat (both super-friendly, well... at least the dog is), so make sure that they're okay around animals.

Sweet, we'll allot some time for you to show off your handy work! If you have scraps of the flexible plywood you used I'd love to see it.
