Well folks Im working Midnight Shift here Under The Arctic Skies Shop..

A lil red fox came up about 4 meters away from me to check things out..but as soon as I touched my hand on the camera she ran away..
Its been coming around for the past 2 weeks on her Midnight Round..
I,ll get her to smile yet ... 8) 8)

Meanwhile Ive taken some photos of my Midnight Shift here in the Land of The Midnight Sun... and I,ll continue to do so till its done...

Here are some photos ...4 you to enjoy...well at least I hope...

Ok folks as The Master Madjack says ... We Luv Da Pics.. So start Luvin the pics.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cause Im willing to bet if I dont post them nobody else from Finland will. Especially who has a Teardrop..And De Only Teardrop...

So it would be alot more fun if there was just a wee bit more enthusiasm. We know we dont have the sights as the North Americas.. but you aint seen nuttn yet...from this neck of the country either..

So I may be the only link ... till who knows when.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Heikki,
From all your different posts, sounds like you're trying to work on everything at once. How many cups of coffee :coffee: do you need to keep going to all hours? :lol:
Your TD is sure coming along and is looking good. :thumbsup:
What are you working most on now? :hammer:
Its late here :SH and I need to get to bed, to finish some projects so I can get back to working on the wood finishing. David built the two little drawers for the galley.

Hi there Martha
Your partially correct, since I dont have a garage I have to do whatever I can on that specific day due to rain or bad weather.. One day Im varnishing, weather permitting and another Im working in the galley while its drying.. or a few other things such as getting the front box done..
I have been working very intensively on it thats for sure..Season is short and I dont want to let it sit again another winter..and to be able to do any camping we have to do whatever possible..

I noticed the cute lil drawers there.. Very Nice.. I guess I can call it Cute to the lady folks but us guys arent so fond of the word.. :lol: :lol: :lol:
:) :D

Its raining here now so Ive been doing work on the front box.. and its a very cool day so the varnish isnt even drying as it should..Persistence I guess its called... ;)

Best regards to you and David.
