Gonna have a long wait trying to get honey from grapes.
(Nice work, though.)

Next time there's an open position for Son of Flip Flop, could you please send me an application?

I haven't seen the mini-FlipFlop but I can vouch for the radness to be had by being his kid. He showed my kids and I some AWESOME river fun that I would have been too chicken on my own to try but it turned out to be the highlight of the trip if not the whole summer.

90cm Dirt ax with 20oz. masonry head.
Used for trail work, route and boulder development.

Still working on carabiner placement without creating a weak point.

Nicely made. And not to get all political, but...

route and boulder development?

After warming up the flubber by shoving it into a heating duct, we wrap it around the curve and nail it.

Healyje- Yes, lots of it...tons of it... It's amazing actually.

As long as you limit the FA chatter, the posting and are sensitive to multiple interests, the hills are your oyster.

Nice work Steve! I hope the guys are using coasters and moving blankets for their coffee and tools on the new stuff.

Rock FA's with an axe? Probably better in a different thread. Again, nice work, but don't know about that application.

Thanks Contractor. I'm real big on protecting the finishes, but as you probably know some of the trades are "savages". Cheers

Healyje- Spend a day trashing through 15 foot walls of desert foliage and cleaning classic, virgin Boulder problems and...Never mind, I'm breaking my rules.

Back on topic- I'm currently building this house designed by a notable Architect. I'll follow up with a few pics as we progress.

Contractor, looks like a cool project. How many square feet?

It looks bigger than it is- maybe 3,500 or 4,000 with covered porches.

We're using Boral, 4/4 trim boards for the fascia which is a nice product and can be painted a dark color without issue.

Yo, Contractor - is that in La Jolla (edit - with a difficult slope below?) Your upcoming/current build drawing has a deja vu look to me.
