Any other side tracks out there?  I heard that Matt wrecked his remote controlled car.

That's twice the size of your old office.

There's a pattern.  This week I killed a new motherboard trying to make it silent.  We won't even talk about the time my dad talked me into using WD-40 to fix my digital camera.

The walls are cedar.  The door and the roof are pine.  The blood next to the door handle is mine.

As coincidence would have it, my shuttle fan headers just died, I think killing my Celeron.  I too was attempting a silent, cool project.   Oh well.

In addition, just started on a 13x10 wood shed.  Concrete pilings, Oak post and beam, oak flooring, VA pine misc framing and White Pine siding.  All the wood was cut either here on the property or within 25miles.

I really dig that cedar siding, seems there are many winter building projects going on....

Of a different genre to yours, JimH, I've been working on a college project all weekend. I study architecture, and it's traditional, (especially with me!), to leave piles of stuff to the last minute, and 90% of my fellow students and I work solidly through the last 36 hours or so before hand-up time...

Two weeks ago I was quite behind in this project, and I've spent the time since then getting around 5-6 hrs sleep a night, and now the project is due in today, so last night I only got 3 hrs sleep! On top of that, I still don't have enought work done!!

Project? Check!
Weekend? Check!
Crazed? Check, check and check!

 :'( >:( ? :P :o

Edit:
P.S. MC has been my most loyal companion throughout this trying time, serving up some fantastic music such as 'Music for 18 Musicians' by Steve Reich, 'Illinois' by Sufjan Stevens, 'Blood' by This Mortal Coil and 'OK Cowboy' by Vitalic, to name but a few...

Well it's not exactly a weekend project (took about 18 months) but it could qualify as crazed:  I designed and built a speaker system shown in the links below.  Total speaker system weight is about 500 pounds, not including the custom designed and built crossover and three stereo amplifiers it takes to drive the speakers.  Not shown is a Paradign Servo 15 subwoofer to cover the bottom-most octave.

http://home.comcast.net/~emmee/Spkr_Pics/Top_View_wo_Grills.jpg
http://home.comcast.net/~emmee/Spkr_Pics/Upper_Enc_wo_Grill.jpg

This project was completed just over a year ago.  Since then I designed and built a combination audio sample rate converter and DA converter this past spring.  Last summer was spent building a deck using composite decking material.  Heavy stuff, my back is still recovering!

Now I'm working on cleaning uo the basement that hasn't been touched during these last three projects.  The trash pickup guuys must be thrilled!
