Yeah sure, you could have downloaded an app to reference on your smartphone so you could get the main points across, or gesture with your hands to describe what you’re saying, but really, that’s not a conversation LOL.

I didn't have any time to spend on it over the past week but this past weekend I was able to spend most of Saturday really getting back into it.

The color turned out to be a little more blue than I originally thought but I think it will look good once it is all put together. Painted top (in the unpainted areas is where the foam will fit in)&nbsp; Ventilation pre-cuts I also decided to go ahead and begin work on the ventilation system.

Let me begin by saying that when working with the carpet adhesive you need to be very careful. That stuff can be very nasty. ;-) It took me quite awhile to get everything cleaned up after applying it to the top of the base unit.
