I agree, that would be a fun job, and I would be very interested if only I had some experience with machine work and woodworking. Unfortunately, I have no experience with either, although I have used a cordless drill/screwdriver many times, and a skill saw on one occasion to install laminate flooring in my kitchen. :glee: As for So Cal weather, it is much different than Oslo, Norway, but just picture yourself wearing shorts and sandals 48 weeks out of the year. I would give almost anything for that weather, especially after all of the snow we got in New England this winter. The only possible downside to Oxnard, or to CA in general, is the poor state economy and the tendancy of many CA residents toward lunacy...with no reference to Los Angeles, or any other clearly sane CA members of this very respectable LTG community. :glee:
