Jeff-

Give me two years.... 18 months from this "spring" should we have one..... until then -- I'm "camping" in the 1200 sq ft condo from hell...

After that! BRING IT ON!


I'm serious when I say the entire thought process of this house has been with the thought of tons of people in a continuos stream.

That's why Charley's room is completely separate from anywhere kids might inhabit.

18 months is perfect. By then, maybe Rob will have the Torino done. Of course I have no room to talk, as I haven't touched mine in 3 months due to my workload, but I did get a bunch of fancy new parts for christmas.
Wait a minute...is that garage big enough for a Torino, and my Chevelle?
Can I bring my dog?

[Ketzer]

Maybe my wife will have forgiven the TSA by then, otherwise it's a several thousand mile drive... I'm too old to spend more than 6-8 hrs driving to get somewhere.

There's a way to beat the TSA.... It's called a Global Entry card.... You have to apply on line -- fill out 70 forms that ask redundant questions -- pay $100 -- and have an interview with the Customs guys.. Then you go straight to a different checkpoint -- leave your shoes on - leave your computer in your bag and bingo bango... walk thru.

That's interesting GW but looks like it's geared toward international travel?
Is it honored in every airport? Do I still have to approach the TSA and get their blessing to move over to the Global pass thru?

The Global website linked to something similar called TSA pre check but their FAQs clearly state it's still at TSAs whim on a case-by-case if they feel you are "eligible"...

Yeah -- typical government website -- it's meant to confuse and drive you crazy...


Once you APPLY --- and yeah it's a "Pre TSA" thing --- the Global Entry is an option.... You go to the PRE TSA at the airport.... there's separate screening for PRE TSA and your Global Entry (once you get one) is part of the info on your ticket (just as PRE TSA is) and they just run your sorry butt thru.

Drive over the Canadian border -- you just hold up your little card to some magical card reader -- and bam -- you're back in the USA...

International travel - you go to an electronic kiosk and put your card in - hold your hand to a print reader -- and it prints out a "go" or a "no go" ticket -- get a "go" ticket you show that - skip customs and go pick up your bags... The occasional no go ticket is to keep you honest.

They do that every once in awhile at the airport too..... you think you're good to go and bam your number comes up and they shag you over to the schlepper line.

99% of the time -- I'm thru TSA in 15 seconds... with a LOT less hassle.

The $100 gets you FIVE YEARS worth of being treated like a US citizen instead of a possible terrorist.

The garage is deep enough for my truck but not a Torino... I'll have sold and moved by then anyway....



Heck yes you can bring a dog! This is the only place in the entire UNIVERSE where if you leave your dog outside the store... They yell at you to go get 'em and bring 'em in.

We have one nut job named Stella -- and Gwen says she's getting at least two more Labs when the house is done. We're going to name the dump -- Menagerie Manor.
