My basement, which is my woodshop with all my tools (10" table saw/bandsaw/compressor/router/etc) is also under3/4inch ( 2cm of water), thanks to this wonderful Nor'easter we're having . However I was able to get the waist-level main shelf board (with stained oak veneer) onto the wall. It looks friggin awesome!! That put a smile on my face.

V Favourite Sci-Fi?

[Maeve O'Treasaigh]

^ Firefly hands-down, with BSG being a really close second. If anyone reading this hasn't seen Firefly, you're missing out! It even recently beat out Star Wars as best sci-fi in a poll in an English magazine.

< Now, for sci-fi comedy, it'd be Galaxy Quest, which I actually happen to be watching atm.

V - What's your favorite constellation?

[Jacky Tar]
