Where's Marty?

[Mario Lucchesi]

I have not seen an update on the birth of a shop thread since the morning of the sixth. I hope all is well with him. I am so used to checking on the progress every morning that I miss it.

Has anyone heard from him lately?

[Art Mulder]

I'm expecting that he is busy spraying about 2 million square feet of cypress siding with a couple coats of pink stain. Or whatever colour Denise decided upon...

Hmm, roughly a 40x60 shop, so that is about 200 feet in circumference, by 10 feet tall, both inside and outside of the boards, plus gables... well maybe not quite 2 million square feet, but it probably seems like a mountain when you're working alone.

but yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing more reports from the wilds of Georgia.

Well, I hope it is not raining over there, that would put a crimp in his spraying.

I do fear that maybe he just decided to get it done, and not bother telling us.

I mean, he did get the door slammed on his fingers fairly hard............

Example One Posts #83 & #87

Example Two Post #18

Example Three Post #9

I think that Marty has been fairly vocal about his dislike of the way somethings are done around here, and I would venture that he is just keeping his mouth shut, as he does not want to become a "Guest".

His call I guess, but I sure miss his daily, heck sometimes TWICE daily updates on the Birth thread.

The way Marty works at it, and the added time of NOT updating his thread, we might just very well see the next update in a week or two, and he will be ALL FINISHED

Looking forward to calmer waters......

Seems he mentioned the other day about probably not updating every day while he is spraying stain...no progress to show. My guess is that he'll post when he has something to take pictures of that shows some work accomplished. Hopefully he will be able to stain enough each day to have some to put up the following day, and be able to stain some more for the following day. Jim.

Well put Randy. I will go on record as being part of the "expanded" 2 percent".

[Ken Salisbury]

Please stay on the thread topic.

No need to start the moderating debate again. If you feel it is absolutely necessary do it in a new thread.

Where's Marty? I dunno--I'm still looking for Waldo!

OK Marty, get back here! We're waiting.....

Sorry about my original answer to this post. I think the Jack Daniels got to me. So I am editing this post to read: Rolling on the floor laughing my butt off

Thanks to George Franklis for bringing to my attention that I violated the TOS by using an acroynom coyuld be considered as vulgur language. For that I apoligize.

Take care, Mike

All discussions are welcomed if conducted in a civil manner without the personal attacks. Keep if constructive and within the bounds of the TOS and, as always, it's not a problem. This topic would be better suited if it was in the support forum.

[Mike Wenzloff]

Thank you, Ken.

Take care, Mike

In an earlier response I used an acronym which could be construde as having vulgar content. This is actually a violation of the TOS and for that I apologize. We all make a mistake every now and then. Its just the response to the post I was referrring to tickled my funny bone. Maybe it was just the Jack Daniels fogging my brain .
