Hi Derek,

Actually, I'm on holidays and have been sleeping on the couch....cooler in the living room than the bedroom.....so I woke up, read the forum and answered then went to bed for a few more hours. That'll all change when I'm back at work on monday

Thanks for the comment.....

Hi Folks,

Well, all glued up and sanded and ready for the finish.....almost. Have to put the little pointy feet on it first.

Thanks for looking....it seems to be finally taking shape.

Hey Ed, Did that rock slide affect you? I saw it on the Seattle stations and then turned to CBUT. I hope all is well. -Derek

Hi Derek,

Yes, I'm working from home the rest of the week by the looks of it. I started to work this morning, they had RCMP and a Kiewit worker at Britannia turning traffic around. I asked the officer if there was any way they could knock out the internet then I could really enjoy the time....oh well, gotta work but at least my commute over the next couple of days is....oh....5 seconds instead of 1 hr. 15 minutes.

Too many people are making a big deal out of this slide. We live in some very serious mountains and as long as no one got hurt or killed then we should be thankful and just roll with Mother Nature's natural happening.

It always makes for an interesting life when you are behind something like this slide. Mostly people just cope and help each other when they can and that's a good testament to people. I've seen that type of thing here many times during floods and closures in the 80's.

Got a little further on the speaker stands....just a few pics to show how I installed those spikes for carpet holding.....

I've now started staining the wood, will use clear poly to finish it.

Coming along well Ed, but (why do I always have a but) the protruding spikes would not draw admiration from most housewives. They really do need hiding, one way would be to turn four half spheres each with a Tee nut recessed underneath so that they can be screwed onto the protruding spikes and become features. I'm sure that you and other members can come up with many other ideas.

Hi Harry,

Are you talking about the top where the nuts are or the bottom spikes that will hide in the carpet?

If it's the top part I'm not quite sure how I would hide those, the pointed part, no problem, the carpet takes care of that. I tested it on my carpet just to see the effect. Not only do they hide well, they also make sideways movement on the speaker stands virtually impossible.

Ed..,....:-)
