Coming along pretty good. Noah would be proud the way the animals are starting to appear. Get, Noah, the animals? Sorry my lame attempt at humor

Looks like it may be a Spring project as well. Keep up the good work! (and don't get eye strain!)

After spring rains gave us a wet basement, I had everything in our basement stacked up high and dry on the puzzle tables. Finally after almost a month, I got everything back to normal and actually put 119 palm tree pieces in the puzzle last night.

Yesterday and today, I put together a grand total of 371 grass pieces. We are 266 hours into the puzzle and have passed the 1/3 mark with 6,499 counted pieces. It sounds impressive, however we are 2,401 pieces behind schedule, if we want to finish in one year.

I have a few new photos. The main table is starting to look like we are actually making progress. We are at 7,019 counted pieces, which means we are about 2,200 pieces behind schedule. Yesterday, I moved a four-foot long section of grass and dirt to the main table, which left room to lay out the "50 shades of grey". Now every last piece is once again out on the tables,...there should be no excuse for not being able to find a piece now. LOL Even with warm weather here, it is not a problem to put in 50+ pieces a day; the mosquitoes are so bad here that we don't even want to be outside.

I think you meant that you admire my stupidity.

I actually forgot it was there. Look at you own stuff too often and you take it for granted.
It is the KISS Got Milk? poster. Then there is Ed's cockpit poster. I took Wonder Woman down during the basement flooding.
