I suppose the flood in the basement is a good place to start. It’s not the real beginning just the point in time that I started taking photos on a somewhat regular basis. Needless to say it was a disruptive event on many fronts. I lost a number of machines that I had grown very accustomed to and I lost some that were real clunkers that I should have replaced years ago.
It wasn’t until the advent of the camera phone that I started recording build progress on a regular basis. I thought I might use a blog to organize the photos I have and just document some of the steps.
