Just because thread drift is a catalogued feature of PDML, did you get your house modifications finished?  I think the last time we heard about it, you were sans roof with snow imminent.

Sorry to be so blatantly ignorant but what is a kitchen sink camera?

Thanks Ralf, no idea either and I thought it was a stupid question to ask.

"everything but the kitchen sink"  is idiom in English  - this
definition I found online defines it nicely .. it includes "kitchen
sink" by itself..

"You use -everything but the kitchen sink- to talk about a lot of
different objects, /many of which are unnecessary/. "They tend to pack
everything but the kitchen sink in rather too many suitcases." Note:
Kitchen sink is used in other structures to mean a lot of different
objects. "Their stores sell everything including the kitchen sink."

That was 2003. We got lucky, it was the end of October before we got the
last of the windows installed and had the place closed up, but we had a
long warm autumn that year.

We are pretty much done, and at the point where everything needs a
refresh. The furnace we installed in 2003 failed and was replaced in
2016, the roof was redone in early 2017, the water tank failed in 2013
so we put a gas fired tankless heater in. I would never go back to a
water tank after owning a demand heater.

In 2011, we had one of those once in a century weather events that seem
to happen every ten years or so, which flooded the basement and forced
us to look hard at what was going on down there. We ended up gutting it
right back to the concrete walls, and ended up having to rip out the
driveway to allow the foundation to be waterproofed (if this isn't done
on the outside, it's not going to work), and we had to have 3 walls
braced with 6" steel c-channels. This is pretty common where I am.
Pretty much any basement that hasn't been braced will need that work
done eventually. We have really bad conditions for basement longevity.

At that time, the darkroom came out, and eventually morphed into a
storage area, and the multi purpose room that had been a combination
wine making room, TV room and photo studio got rebuilt as a woodworking
shop.

The dogs we had then have long since gone to doggie heaven, as have the
pair we got after that, and the puppies that found their way into our
hearts after them are now all grown up as well.

"Everything except the kitchen sink" is a phrase that implies something
has every thing for every one.  Except the K-1 isn't that.  It's frame
rate is too slow for the dedicated sports and modern wildlife
photographers. It's video capabilities can best be described as
existing.  I would say it's a landscape field camera, and, with a
tilt/shift lens architectural, or, studio/portrait/product camera, for
someone, with methodical technique, who can't really justify the expense
of medium format.

Thanks, Bill.  I think the last I remember of your renovations was trying to decide whether to construct a mezzanine or not.  Is that right?

It was actually Malcolm who left us, figuratively, roofless.

I don't recall that ever being in the plan. We did leave a loft
overlooking the main floor, but that was in the plan right from the
start. Right now we are trying to decide if we want to extend the second
floor over part of it to add another bedroom, as we only have one.
The price of building materials being what they are right now, it's
going to be in the planning phase for a very long time.
Dimensional lumber is something like three times what it should be, and
sheet products such as softwood plywood and OSB are between two and 5
times more than they have any right to be.
