The beginnings of this move sound great so far! I was in a bad accident yesterday and as far as I know, my car is totaled. In the case that it is and I am not able to get a car, I will most likely not be able to help move SYNHAK. All I request is that in my absence, Becca is the one to move the craft room, since she is the other person to know where we put things in there and such. Again, this is if I can't get a ride out there, if my car is completely caput, but from what I remember, I don't think it is anything but that. Happy hacking! I hope to be back soon! -Beth
