HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! no, but, I did just save a lot of money by switching to Geico. A pallet lying flat on the ground is about 5", so 4 stacked would be about 20". I would love to have it taller but that's too many pallets to worry about. With a deck on the other hand, I could go taller. I think re...

If you *were* a carpenter, you would have provided the Dear Readers of the eplaya with a few more details, eg how much taller you want to be than God --- God being the Space Cowboys. You are so right. I'm must not be a carpenter and I'm taking our campmates to the back of the line. Thank you so muc...

I am a carpenter, and I do it for a living. I'm just trying to cut costs wherever I can since I'm already in it way over my budget. Pallets are free!

Hell yes!

Plan B is to use the back of a truck covered in plastic. We'll be at 4:30. All of our DJ's are from a small island in Indonesia and are no taller than 2', so that shouldn't be a problem. They make good chocolate too...

Yeah the more I thought about it pallets seem like not the best option. They are great for the backyard though! I think a deck is a better idea and we've plenty of campmates to help with it. 2x6's are better. Time is running out. I'm glad to hear that bigger things were built in less time... This HA...

Yeah that sounds like a better idea. 2x4 framing with plywood for the floor. That would take up less shipping space. It would be a lot more work involved though. Would need plenty of helping hands!

I'm building a variation of the H13 Hexayurt for a DJ booth and we would like for it to sit on a raised platform. The easiest solution I've come up with is to create a platform out of pallets. The H13 is close to 16x18' at the floor, so this would require using quite a few pallets. We want it to be ...

Well that sounds like a good idea but the 3/4" panels here are $19 and not sure about the 1/2" ones, but I'm sure they are more than $8. Unless I can find a cheaper supplier...

Vinay said that 3/4" panels should work particularly well for 6' stretch yurts, and maybe using a roof pole. I did however find a supplier close by that sells 1" @ $27 a pop. Seems kind of expensive. I'm wondering if I should try the 3/4" panels. We will be building an H12 to accommodate 3 people an...

I like the idea of making an x pattern from plywood to support the panels. But I'm also wondering if 3/4" is thick enough to stay cool on the playa. I will PM Vinay to see what he thinks.

We do have a Lowes also but you have to order the whole bundle from them as well. I thought about doubling the panels but that would cost twice as much. Do you think a plywood backing would be a bad idea? I already have quite a few sheets of waferboard in the garage.

Home Depots in Dallas are only carrying 3/4" thick Rmax R-matte, which is too flimsy. They can special order Thermasheath 1" and 1 1/2" thick, but you have to buy the whole bundle. Not an option for me. So I was thinking of getting the 3/4" thick stuff and glue them to some thin plywood (perhaps 1/4...

That's exactly what my horoscope said. But I'm afraid it's too late...

Excellent. Thank you.

I've sent a PM and it seems to be stuck in the outbox. I tried sending it twice. I'd like for the recipient to read it soon. It's been about a half hour. I don't know what else to say.

Exactly. We put a few bills on 'hold' for the main lotto. This created a bit of a financial burden, however we felt it was worth it. What I'm saying is, I'd be willing to do it again for the last sale, if I was denied the low income ticket. But because you won't know until six weeks after the low in...

Here ya go.

[youtube][/youtube]

you have to wait 6 weeks to find out if you will get one. This falls after the secondary sale. So my question is, after applying for a low income ticket, can you also try for the secondary sale? Some people that qualify for the low income ticket might want one so damned bad they might put a few bill...

We received the reject notice a couple of hours ago. We were positive and excited since we registered for 2 tickets (one each). This has been the longest, most drawn-out disappointment imaginable. It's hard to stay positive about STEP or the secondary sale, since the same fucking thing will probably...

huh?

True.. but fortunately that's not the case. You can stand in any one spot in the city streets and here 5 different music sources at one time. One question: Have you actually been to TTITD before? Just wondering. Not trying to be a jerk. :) No, this will be our first. We've been to regionals though,...

Well I guess I'm just wondering what everyone else is bringing and what their tastes are (so I can avoid camping near the happy hardcore).

I don't give a fuck about my own music. That's what I listen to the other 51 weeks. I'm too busy having a blast with a dusty shit eating grin on my face shuffling from party to party to adventure to mind blowing-ness and whatever music happens to be penetrating my ears while I'm doing that, then da...

I thought I'd start a thread on what music you will bring to this years event. It could be a good way to discover new things! As for me: Shpongle (my absolute most favorite band in the world) Amon Tobin old school jungle loads of psychill Some IDM The doors The Rolling Stones If you're not familiar ...

I assumed that's what he was talking about but I wasn't sure and wanted him to elaborate. I've been reading everyone's opinion on the new system but since this will be my virgin year, I feel as though I have no right to complain. I really don't care about what's going on behind the scene other than ...

Well I use Gmail so I'm sure it's not my ISP... and jkisha, what do you mean? I haven't been receiving it long so I don't have anything to compare it to.

Thanks. Anyone know what I should do about not getting updates? I'm missing 8 issues. I tried putting a slice of bacon in my cd tray for good measure but all the good that did was turn my laptop into a mutant car.

The last one I've received was bman-announce Digest, Vol 67, Issue 2. I even checked the spam folder and I think I've missed one or two. Can't find the last one that everyone is currently talking about.
