Securely in her cradle, snug and sound. I must say having cute Pandas on the boxes does take a lot of the stress out of moving. What can go wrong when you’ve got pandas?
Hey, everyone! For those few of you still patient/bored enough to still be paying any attention to this thread, I’m still alive, and the pandas took great care of the Fair American. Unfortunately, the new house comes with a honey-do list a mile long, and putting the hobby room in order is somewhere around n+1 on the 1 to n list of priorities.
Hey Nama, that all sounds like progress to me. Looking forward to seeing your new shipyard setup.
Saw this coming...we will be patient.

Speak for your self, Paul!
Namabiiru!!!! You need to start moving with a purpose - those Pandas have been a bad influence on you - notoriously lazy animals
Looking forward to you getting back in the shipyard, friend! Thanks for the progress report!
Blessings. Peace. Gratitude.

Good morning. How is the new hobby room coming on? Cheers Grant
Grant, thanks for asking! The hobby room has seen zero progress, which I really need to correct since I have some non-hobby-related projects that I need to wrap up soon. Work is taking it’s toll on my free time, as are the invasive plants in the yard that had 20 years to establish themselves before we bought the property and dropped a wad of cash on sod…

Hey Namabiiru,
I haven’t been on the forum for ages either. The build is coming along beautifully!! I’ll of course be asking you questions and leaving comments about your fantastic progress, and I hope your move went well …
Best regards, Günther

Thank you, Günther! I hope you enjoyed your travels.
This past weekend, I was finally able to find some time to start getting the shop in the new house organized. Perhaps soon I will be able to do something productive in it.

hank you so much. Yes, I had a wonderful trip and lots of adventures... It was simply fantastic. With temperatures of -31°C, it really is incredible... Now I know what cold really is....
I’m already looking forward to your projects and photos of your new workshop. Best wishes,
Günther

Chuck! Thank you so much! Yes, I really do need to get back at it. No promises, but maybe next weekend there will be a chance to unbox her and try to figure out where I left off…

Namabiiru! Excellent news! I believe I can hold my breath that much longer
I hear you on the part where you have to figure out where you left off. When I took a break from Harriet Lane last year to do more home remodeling projects, I had a hell of a time remembering what I wanted to do next. I guess that's an argument for writing down the production plan and checking off the steps you have taken. The steps with no check marks in their boxes are where you left off. I think I'm going to give that a shot
Looking forward to your renewed efforts and pictures of the new Namabiiru Model Shipworks!
Blessings.

Although I suppose if I wrote it down, it wouldn’t change as much…

Namabiiru! Don't tell me you have the ricochet rabbit disease too! I guess there are so many mini kits in the kit one needs to be flexible or it turns into work.
For me, I find myself making to do lists late in the build to make sure that I have done all of the stuff that should be done before the rigging starts.Blessings.
