Pretty plethora of polished pieces Perk! Thank you Jason. That dang lap is super loud! I'm pretty sure the neighbors were about to kill me. The mess those things make is crazy. I guess that's why shop vacs we're invented!

LOL As a guy tightly surrounded by neighbors who aren't super hard of hearing, I can say I'm jealous. Not a huge fan of big city life, but it does have it's perks.

I'm still smiling right now. Thanks for the laugh. There are a couple people with my last name around here. The original house from when my family settled here is somewhere up north. I remember my grandpa having pictures of it. Maybe I'll see about finding it one of these days, just for the fun of it.
