The chandelier....hmmm....well my DW was doing a tasting at a winery in Comfort, TX and their chandelier caught her eye. Christy is a great "lover of the grape juice". I can still hear her voice, "Honey, I would really like one of those. I know you can figure out how to make one." My first thought was to go up and ask the guy upfront "How much?" But my engineering mind kicked in and said, "I can take some pictures and recreate this." (What was I thinking??)

I then had to hunt for a French, Wine Bottle drying rack. Christy's mom and I were at a HUGE antique sale in Central Texas and I found, for $250 (yikes), a galvanized French, wine bottle drying rack that was 3feet taller than the one we had seen in Comfort,TX.

So I had the structure, now I need bottles and lights. Christy's job was getting bottles. Christy was loopy for months. Actually, since she is from the Texas Wine Country (Hill Country), she was able to procure many of the bottles we needed from relatives and from her Mother's B&B (the customers leave their wine bottles on a very tall shelf in the Kitchen). :confused3

I had hang a 600lb test chain in the attic and attach it to the beams (with a safety rope). So, I hoisted this monstrosity up in the air until the bottom of the Drying Rack was 12 feel above the floor (we have a 22 foot tall entry hall). I then had to tie it into the electric and put Christmas lights in all 150 bottles (I only lost one to the tile below and their is one Dom Pérignon bottle up there, also). I also put rope lights around every rung.

The whole thing weighs between 400 and 500lbs and I have a set of double pulleys in the attic so I can lower it to change bottles or lights.

Wow! Great work. Now you need to add two smaller ones and arrange them like a Mickey head. :thumbsup2

Oh, good job by Christy to drain all those wine bottles. :drinking:
 
Morning DIS peeps. It looks like you all are going to catch a break at the TSM party and have a chance at the high score. As you all know, I am the greatest TSM spring action shooter the world has ever seen, however, I unfortunately will not be able to participate in any TSM beat downs this year. So, whoever attains the best score must realize that your reign as champion will have an asterisk next to it which reads: * "I got the high score only because Paul wasn't there to crush me!" :cool2:

How much longer will your finger be out of commission?

Paul, You could request one of the special HA cars that have a button to push instead of the pull cord.

I saw the surgeon on Thursday. Unfortunately the problem is a lot more extensive then originally thought. What can I say, I'm the fragile type. :sick: ;) . No complaints from me though. It's just one of those things, what are you gonna do? :confused3
 
Morning All!

I just put my Cafe Press order in. I was lucky enough to find a coupon code that covers almost all of the shipping costs. Woohoo!

What's everyone up to today?
 
Hey Gang

I just got caught up on processing all of the sumissions for the seminar on Friday. Confirmation emails have gone out.

Please check your email - if you haven't received your confirmation email please email me (John@DreamsUnlimitedTravel.com) so I can look into it for you.

Just an FYI - all party confirmation emails have been sent already also. If you did not get that let me know.

I'm sorry things aren't going well with the finger. I hope the repairs go well.

I'm sitting here at the office trying to make it through my OT. I keep telling myself "Time and a half, Time and a half" Just what I need for DATW.
:laughing:

Morning all!

Woke up with chills and praying to the porcelain gods.....so I'm guessing I won't be dressing up tonight...:sick:

Trying to sip water and keep it down...... I don't want to be sick....:sad2:
 
Hi Donna hope you are doing well.
How is Suri and Carl?
I know he won't be home for another 94 minutes!

Today is a great day! :goodvibes I get to nap, and even though i have to work tonight I am working with a great person, so it will be fun. (As long as the Halloweeners of all ages behave!)

Carl and Siri are headed out for trick or treating tonight - Siri as a "water talent fairy. Silvermist from the movies or Rani from the books. She loves them both so I made her costume as a tribute to both fairies.

Carl is going as a Godfather...a Fairy Godfather. Think suit, but with attitude and black wings.

Hey everyone! We are getting ready for the big day tomorrow. We are going to a party where the Mom's take the kids out and the Dad's stay back and pass out candy. We all pitch in and order pizza and bring side dishes. My sister is making me cherry cheese cupcakes for my birthday.

Hallie is going to be a Goth Zombie Princess and Tyson is Scooby Doo.

He had to go back to the Dr today. His bite was starting to get infected. He is on another antibiotic now.

I hope Tyson feels better soon - it sounds like he is taking to the new meds better.

Home after a wonderful anniversary meal! The best part is that it was FREE! Phillip's boss had given us a gift certificate for Morton's awhile ago and we saved it for tonight!

I am STUFFED!!!!

What's everyone up to tonight?

Happy Anniversary!

This was the scene at Katherine's gym last week. :scared1::scared1:

The 62 yr old driver left the scene and was caught the next day when they returned to the gym.

OMG I saw that on the news! I knew what it would be before I clicked the link. Glad no one was hurt.

I hope this goes smoothly for you. I haven't been around enough to know what you are facing. I had a few reconstructive hand surgeries back in the 80's. Make sure you listen to the recovery/rehab instructions closely!!! 10 years later I met a Dr. who had undergone the same surgeries that I had, but hadn't gotten enough post-op rehab and his mobility was not good.

Off for a quick errand and a nap before work. I will sneak in later ;)
Happy Halloween!

A real man wouldn't whine about it and find a way to play. Lefty? Elbow? Don't they have a handicap car with a push button? I will not let my high score go down with an asterisk!!

Sorry to hear Paul. I wish the news was better. I guess I'm just going to have to put the "beat down" on Puck and my Indy peeps!

Hope he feels better soon and that he does good tonight.
I hope the bite doesn't bother him under his costume.
Post pictures of the 2 of them.
I am sure they are going to look sweet in their costumes.
