As for the interior, the insulation is complete enough to start the drywall and that should begin in about a week.
We really enjoy spending long weekends there. The staff is great and we're always treated well.
I just replaced my two INOi firewire drives with two newertechnology miniStack v2 drives. I liked the enclosures, but was concerned about heat and the fact that the drives never spun down. The ministack enclosures have a temperature sensor that attaches to the hard drive and a fan that's controlled by the sensor. The fan only runs when it needs to. Also, these enclosures are very quiet, even with the fans running. The other benefit is that the enclosure will spin the drive down when not in use.
I measured the temperature on the outside of the INOi drive enclosure to be 94℉ and the actual hard drive temperature to be 107℉. My Maxtor Diamondmax 21 hard drive has a maximum operating temperature of 140℉. At 107℉, I was well below the maximum but the fact that it was at this temperature all the time made me nervous.
These ministack enclosures seem faster too. I used the firewire connections on the INOi enclosures and on the ministack enclosures and the ministack's seem faster. I don't have any hard numbers, but I'm guessing the chipset in the ministack is better.
Here's another one of Rauser and me (back of the line). Looks like this one was taken shortly after we got there (the line isn't too long yet). I had one person ask me what we were waiting for.
I was at the Briarwood Apple store opening in Ann Arbor on Saturday. I snagged a wireless keyboard and the t-shirt. This was my first Apple store opening. Rauser and I arrived at 7am and were about 30th in line. The three hour wait went fast. I shot some video too, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhtvYgOc1qI
It appears that I have some invites to Joost if anyone is interested. If so, please send me your name and email address.
I finally have my WRC coverage! I used to watch it on the Speed channel, but haven't found it there in quite a while. I recently came across Rally Torrents. Many thanks!
My sincerest thanks go out to those who helped. I received my new phone today and the clear screen looks wonderful.
