BACK UP YOUR PHOTOS NOW!!!! Not three minutes from now, but now!
I suspect you've probably already done this. But don't give your hard drive another chance to fail. I guarantee the series of pictures taken of the jukebox alone will be useful to you in the future.
It would be a shame to lose all that historical data to just the reduced content stored in the cloud.
Best of luck in keeping it working.

Glad to hear you're back online there AG! Nice progress on the wall...maybe it was Luigi's drool that did in your laptop?

Bill, it's possible Luigi drooled on my desktop, and I also found tons of cookie crumbles...maybe Dicky's ? It would be a bad idea nevertheless to put down a box with tissues next to the pc, what on earth would the wife think ?

As for the tissues box, just tell your wife she doesn't understand you and can never appreciate a true artist if she gives you any grief!

The brickwork looks first rate and also looks to be near done. I'll be curious to see you place the mortar.
How much interior detail are you planning? Is it a bomb damaged structure, lots of rubble and dust?

Hi Dicky, Mrs Armour does the important stuff indeed, such as purchasing new furniture for the living room which I am now re-decorating. No time for modelling last week, only the past weekend was a little modelling related because we went to Nijmegen with the family. Nijmegen means Market Garden and particularly it means Overloon. It has one of the most impressive museums on WWII in Europe. I'll post a thread with pics later on, I saw mindblowing stuff ! John, I want to add enough detail to keep things interesting and convincing, so this project won't be finished before the end of the year I'm afraid. Bill, Leon, thanks mate, I hope I can pick up the bricks real soon now.

Ahha, you're using individual cork bricks to build up this house? Never seen this technique before. I assume you cut the bricks yourself from cork strips.
Looking good, that's for sure.
Marcel.

Sorry to hear about your back! I have contacted Wouter to see if he can go over and give you a REAL GOOD back rub.
Take a good care of yourself my friend

Now you rest my friend don't go hurting yourself worst than it is! I suggest some red wine and as Andy proposed a good massage...Hmmm, maybe by the wife instead of Wouts...Just my two cents I am sure he does Godly back rubs but...you know

Hello friends, finally I managed to glue on the last bricks, despite the pain in the back. I hope to post another update soon but even while I'm writing this my back's killing me. And then there still are the gallstones ! My colon seems ok now...health is so important and we only know that when we're not. Pain is a mojo destroyer. Best regards my fellas ! AG.

Building looks beautiful... amazing what cork can do! Hang in there my friend... my mother had back surgery last month and it didn't go well so we are here in Florida visiting my parents and it hurts me when I see how much pain she is dealing with.

Thank you fellas, your words mean much to me. The bricks and granite got a thinned wood glue brushing. The cork soaks up the mixture and the entire structure gets harder. Nothing special but important to start painting as a next step. Best regards. AG.
