Progress Report

Got another response to the Maine posting.
Got a response asking how much reimbursement for 20 caps, wanted to know if it was worth it, had to laugh a little to muself, then sent a reply saying that it would probably only be a few dollars since it was so few caps and they didn't weigh that much

I have been having them sent to the PO box for work, don't know if this is really right because it is not work related, but I don't know if I really want people knowing my home address... Maybe I should look into getting my own PO box. Another thought, when sending reimbursements I wonder what the best way to do that is, a check would have my address on it as well, COD usually costs more than is needed. Maybe cash? Maybe a money order? We'll see, besides my friend Ben, only one other person has actually sent me caps, it was the guy in Alaska, he did a COD and I paid by check. My mom is worried about me giving out my address, but I guess that's her place to worry about her daughter. Kevin is complaining that he wants to see some progress besides boiling caps. I am going to have him help me cut the plywood down to size today and possibly even cut out the first fish piece! That is if he ever gets out of bed :-)

Got another response, asked him to send them along if he likes and I will reimburse him the shipping.

Earlier today Kevin helped me cut the plywood into 2'x4' sections, then helped me cut out my first fish! Funny how the price tag worked well for the placement of the eye. Then I sanded down the edges and also started punching holes in some twisted tea caps. I have the most of those (thanks George!) so I figured it would be best if this first fish used them.


Also took some more pics of new bottle caps, added them to my flicker and added them to my photostream. Currently I am boiling more until I have to go to a friends house and also punching more holes.
