[Chin Diesel]

So, ceiling p o r n ??

No banners... This is what it feels like to be Cuse

You must have had custom-built cabinets. We are using IKEA roof tiles to replace the originals, hand-made by an Italian master whose name always escapes me.

IKEA is Swiss which is high quality.

Swedish, but they all look alike...

Roof =\= ceiling

Not according to MJ...

 

[Ewekon]

I read the BY virtually every day and am quite certain it has been reported by hundreds of sources that the roof has already caved in on us.

hahaha fail. I was thinking of chocolate and pocket knives when I posted that.

hahahhahah one of my favorite quotes ever.

Speaking of funny quotes, I was reading a Mike D'Antoni article and he had a quote from Cory Brewer that had me bust out laughing:

Early this season, Brewer, who was traded to the Lakers in late February, took a pass on the baseline, drove, spun, shook two defenders with a 360 and missed a point-blank shot at the rim. "Coach, I did my thing," he told D'Antoni, "but then I got to the rim and just ran out of talent."

"Ran out of talent," D'Antoni repeats. "Best line in the history of basketball."

Maybe that's what happened with Phil's 450 spin move.

Thanks Jaybird.

 

[UConnNick]

It will turn out OK with none of Mark Emmert's money grubbing fingers in the pie.

For those of you not on twitter, the Gampel roof is finally being fixed. Saw somewhere that it should take about 1 month.

There must be some alternative to panels. They never worked out and you would think the architects could come up with a better system for $10MM.

Perhaps hand made ceramic tiles, crafted by the Maestro's children?

Probably none that will come with a warranty though. One of the vids medic posted talked about going with original installation materials it comes with a warranty. I wanna say 10 years but i might be light.

The guy in yellow is Tony Patoni!! Not sure of exact relation to Enzo but this is great to see!! I have faith in this endeavor now.

The very first mock up.

 

[junglehusky]

Whether igloo, hut, lean-to,
or a geodesic dome,
There's no structure I have been to
which I'd rather call my home.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Holy hell at those pics of dudes on the roof. Not worth the 35k state d
Salary

 

[Excalibur]

Not the CT DOT professionals?

Or Centerplan?

The very first mock up.

If they had only made the original panels out of duct tape, the roof would still be in original condition.
