Yes, it's getting very close. The chamber is done and second floor is 75% in. Diffuser is next. Aiming for electricity to happen in about three weeks Smile

I smell test flights happening very soon Smile

Does anyone else feel like that lady in those commercials (steinmart I believe) who was standing in front of the door going "Open, open, open, open".

Hold on there little one. It will happen before you know it.

As for standing in front of the window saying "open, open, open" you are smaller then me, so you'll be behind me Sly

Re: [Hooknswoop] Wind Tunnel in Colorado [In reply to]	Can't Post

wow. Good to see the diffuser in place! Smile

That was one of those critical items because it essentially closes the entire flow path below it to heavy equipment Smile

Next comes the inlet contractor and the air path should be complete!

Ugh!!

So, I've applied to be a tunnel rat at the new tunnel -- sent the resume, the application, the cover letter, etc.. Anyway, waited a week or so and just made the customary "hey, just wanted to make sure you got my stuff" phone call.

No problem, right? Wrong!

I think (am pretty sure actually,) that my VM sounded completely idiotic! Blush

I do fine face-to-face and talking to someone over the phone, but VM!! I think I have some sort of message-leaving-impediment!

If anyone sees this Norm guy, be sure to tell him I'm a great (read: not-completely-incompetent) girl! Blush

Dear sweet Kelli, you don't know me as well as you think you do, if you think Derek can distract me from tunnel time.

Do you really think I'm going to let you know when that is going to happen? I don't want to bring you to tears when you are standing in the parking lot watching me fly Wink
