The world's largest wooden board, a 46.53 meter long piece of Doug Fir cut from a forest in Kashubia Poland, and then ripped by hand:
We organised technical, cultural and medical assistance for the participants and... fresh supply of beer. In terms of beer, cutting 1 metre of the board cost 54.3 litres of it... The board was cut traditionally with a two-men saw, just like our ancestors did it.

"door hanging" is part science and part art. When I get it right, it's beautiful. :) And it can be easier with two people.

Yes. This Saturday (while Charlene was off doing CERT training, another way to pull our community together) I got a call saying "I've got some questions about hanging a door", which turned into me tossing a bunch of tools into the truck and a door hanging. And a bag of figs and tomatoes.
It was kinda like Burning Man, serendipity turns into serendipity. Need more of that kind of neighbors pulling together.

In some ways, it's a silly stupid thing to do. Which makes it perfect to bring a community together. A lot of pride in that project. We all need more of such projects. :)
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
