|
Hi, Having expanded THE MOUNTAIN from 2 to 3 baseplates, we used about 50 BURPS so far and it is almost (~80%) done. Of course, we are out of burps now as well. So...if you all could spare just one (plastic) BURP each, we would sure appreciate it. (...) (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

If I'm to attend BricksWest I will need to cut the costs. Would anyone from the Bay Area who's driving down like to carpool with me? I'll pay my share of the gas money and drive as much of the trip as you want. Also, once we're down there, I'm (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I called the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat and ordered two individual papers. It costs $8.60 to mail them because of special handling.

At our last meeting, a reporter from the San Jose Mercury News interviewed a bunch of us (including me) and a photographer took pictures, and a very nice article appeared in the next day's (Sunday) paper. The local Fremont newspaper, the Argus, also (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

Thanks, we like it too. Its about 16 studs in diameter. Stole the roof idea from the pic of another one I found online, but don't remember where. Building the curved tank with brown log 1x2s and 1x cylinders was a bit of a challenge. Height designed (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
