I'll be posting more later but wanted to let everyone know that the Ornery one and I made it safely home from Washington DC where the Design Challenge final was held. Fortunately we had the pleasure of meeting many folks from hearth.com and we are very thankful for that. Perhaps Craig or someone else has a thread going but I have not yet been able to look so just wanted to make this post.
When we arrived home we found that Iliniois was not the only state that was hit with storms but for sure they were hit worse. We had no electric when we arrived home Monday night so it was interesting. With a 600+ mile drive that day then having to get electric to freezers, refrigerator, water pump, etc was a bit more of a struggle when it has to be done after dark. But the first thing we did was to get a fire going in the Fireview. By the time we hit the sack, the house was up to 70 degrees so we did not freeze.
But my congratulations go out to Tom Morrissey and his wonderful crew at Woodstock. It was an honor to be there with them. The prize was well earned.
Although we were not able to attend the party with Craig, BrotherBart, Begreen and Daksy and the rest of the gang, we were blessed with meeting most of them at the design challenge and they put on a nice presentation. Thanks go to Craig and the moderators.
