@toker @yoko @tinfoil hat timmy @Blues @Dadpool fun to find some comics fans here. I’ve worked with Greg Rucka professionally since the mid 90s. He got me back into comics. I had mostly left them behind when I discovered girls and weed in middle school. I stopped collecting Rom the Space Knight after the first four issues. I had ROM #1 with the Frank Miller cover for a long time and somehow lost track of all my old comics. I used to buy mine at a 7-11 store that I could walk to from my parents house as a kid. Anyway, Greg introduced me to Bendis, Matt Wagner, Warren Ellis, Brian Azzarello, Ed Brubaker, etc. The new guys who were bringing new life to DC and Marvel and also creating their own independent and creator owned stuff.

I haven't read comics in many a year...DC or Marvel.

Though I did read one or two graphic novels about the holocaust in the last year or two.

50+ years ago, I used to read Asterix and Tintin ("Tim und Struppi"). Go figure ....

Guess who I sympathized with most ?

Interesting. I heard George Takei wrote one about the interment of Japanese Americans during World War Two.

House update:

1) except for window screens, green window shutters and balcony balustrades (?) the outside is done.

2) inside dry wall is done. Attic walls and ceiling, house and door frames (oiled alder), etc., are ongoing. Afterwards will be the floors. Then (after move), deck, elevator and green house.

3) Most of the new furniture (kitchen, bath rooms, laundry room, dark room, etc.) has been delivered

4) Move is scheduled (from storage to house) in a little more than a month from now. Not looking forward ...

The balconies are extremely useful for the team

I didn't have time to type a lot earlier, but I wanted to say that I love the Alder wood you chose. I met a guy that built log cabins while I was living in Montana and I've always had a love for Alder after seeing some of his work. I put Knotty Alder Wainscot in the house I had out there. Once you get all settled in you'll have your little slice of heaven on earth and a fitting castle ... congrats!

Don’t know if you have Amazon Prime, but there are a couple computer animated Asterix and Obelix movies on there, and they’re actually really good. Nailed the look.

Exterior doors are American, from OrePac OR (formally Therma Tru), and the windows from Seemray OH, who has a manufacturer in Germany.

Ohh - and that main entry door on the photo is temporary (so the final one doesn't get damaged).

Very cool! I got to tour a place here that makes one of a kind custom doors and windows and I was blown away at what they can make. They looked very similar I could tell they had a very strong European German influence.
