"Additional things and stuff."

Hiatus flew by this year for your nice hosts, but they're back in the newly-renovated clubhouse with their annual recounting of what they got up to while away. Ellen keeps a promise, Stephen returns a gift, and Mark sees thru' these architects eyes.

• 

  Our renovated clubhouse table.
• 

  These foam acoustic panels came vacuum-sealed, so they needed to be soaked in water to inflate them.
• 

  Of course, once-inflated, the water-logged panels needed to be dried out, which meant an hour in the dryer.
• 

  It was pretty hard to drill these holes to mount our mic stands, and about as hard to measure them out because our clubhouse table has no straight edges or corners.
• 

  Measure twice, then 100 more times.
• 

  Mark mounted at set of ports for mic and headphone connections under the clubhouse table.
• 

  Mark's "B+" cable management.
• 

  The finished clubhouse. It's much cozier (and quieter) in here now.
