sorry for not welcoming you all individually. I do have a couple of comments:
1) Jon, you named your blogspot "peeling logs"! That may be the least fun part of building. If you want, you can come out to my place and peel some, since your obviously like it so much!
2) Dan, Russia, eh? There has to be a story there. 35 deg below zero is friggin cold!
3) Beauty, you'll do well in the class. I am sure your fiance will take to it after a couple hours. Everything is laid out in such an orderly fashion (you COULD learn everything they teach from the internet, but it would take you years and years. Mostly to sift through the crap and get to the stuff that actually works). Plus the member's side is worth it, even without the class.
