I drink Windex now...it prevents streaking.

Not a moment too soon.

How much do you have left?

Well, if you were intending to see one in the theater, and "rent" the other from the future, I'd recommend "Renting" Iron man 3.

I forget now but are you a brickie?  I'm a chippy you know.

Nah, I'm a mickey-mouse exhibition builder.  We do a bit of everything, especially on "fabrication friday" (any day that the materials have not been fabricated in the factory correctly).  When we build 'full custom' stands, we tend to work with pre-fabbed mdf pieces that we assemble and wall-flats.  We also work with various exhibitions systems like octonorm, maxima, syma and other, which are like a cross between giant meccano and lego.

We have got the contract for Microsoft launches and stuff for last few years, their "Open House" display was one I was pretty proud of, and one of the few I can find piccies of:

You ever get to go full starship? or do they tend to want that open air look.

Unrelated question: I know you do music, but do you ever do any vocal work?

We have built a rocket-ship, full three stage thing that came in five pieces, but mostly the stuff we build is all open at the top.  No roofs, just over-hangs/awnings and hanging ceilings (we build it on the ground and the riggers suspend it).
Just as we are not really builders, I'm convinced the designers are not real engineers.

Actually next Saturday I'm meant to be working with one of my suppliers and won't be around for S.T. either.  I'll take your advice about Ironman, it suits me better that way to be honest.

Nice pics, megamarkd.  Sounds like interesting, although demanding, work.

I'm trying to wake up.

I've done some exhibition stuff in the past, but it was mostly light stud work and 1/2 MDF or slat board.  I used to design product stands when I was the head carpenter for a branch of John Lewis. That was really nice work as you could use hardwood if you liked.

Very impressive, mega.

I really should go to bed.

Vinegar works as well as that ammonia based cleaner and it's generally less toxic.

I woke up too early and I'm making an attempt at getting through my day without bumping into walls and other zombie like behavior.

Half-way through Day 2 of "Securing Windows and Resisting Malware" security class.  Weeeeeeee.

"Securing Windows and Resisting Malware"

I once fitted some double glazing for a Mrs Malwood.  I suppose if I'd spurned her advances we would be equally qualified.
