This house had a bath, but my wife removed it.

Let this post serve as the official line drawn on the event for entries

NOTE- Paul does have an exception for his continuing work on his ambitious Push Boat..


I want to thank everyone one who entered , visited and assisted in the even this year.  Thank you all for your enthusiasm.

Consultation on entries will be going on this week with announcements next weekend of winners--which by the way - I think you all are winners

 Thumbs up!

How do you mean an exception? I already entered "Appelsientje" as my entry for the event.

If you wanted to enter the Push boat also Paul- If it is something that will linger then you are in with just the Apple boat!!

I am going to take the Push Boat efforts into consideration either way for sure
