    I have a feeling you're going to regret your decision once you get over that "new" feeling with HD20. The Epson is one hell of a deal.

    It was ok. I didn't fall in love with it. I was LCD for 3 generations since the Sanyo PLV-Z2, then DLP for the HD66. Went back to LCD and wasn't all that impressed. I am happy with my switch plus an extra $450 in my pocket.

    6mm 5 x 10' Sintra whiteboard. BARELY fit in the back of the truck. Had to run 1x2" guides under it on the tailgate so it wouldn't snap under the wind or when I went over any bumps. You can't see them in the picture.

    Not cheap, but WORRRTH it!

    Updates coming, I promise. I did manage to finally finish the garden beds though. More work than I thought as we had to level the ground (my OCD demanded it):

    Those look great man! Did you put any sort of finish on them to preserve color?

    Ha ha, gotta keep the work down to a minimum dude!

    Building things....I could do it (or try to do it) all day long. Taking out the garbage or doing the dishes? Good luck, ROFL!
