I´ve packed down my workshop and my house. I will leave tomorrow to Beas in the Huelva province. We are buying a house there and I will make a new workshop... This means no internet, no telephone exept the darn cellphone for a while. I will drop into a cyber sometimes here and there and will try to follow my E-mail etc, but I will not be frequenting Foroflamenco for a while. The comming months will be spend with new friends: bricks, mortar, plaster, new windows etc.
I wish all you guys a nice not to hot or cold summer. I´m looking forward to comming back. I think foro flamenco is still growing and getting better every day
Thanks for making this a nice place to visit. Nice playing, building and chatting.

Good Luck Anders, keep in touch. If you're ever back in Grana' drop us a line. Let us know what its like in Huelva. I've heard its beautiful but have never been. Looks like we're recording Emilio this summer so stuck in Granada for forseeable future. Take care mate

All the best with the new house. Make sure you don't lose that heart capo in the move! If you bump into a singer called Monica in Huelva, tell her I said hi. (Long shot I know but what the hell! ) Karenanne

Cheers! Anders, remember things like damp proof courses and roof holding down straps. Don't build on sand and don't backfill with clay soil. Mmmm! Home floor joists = half the span + 2. (Imperial) Span 10' = 10/2 = 5+2 = 7 therefore 7'x2' = 175mm x 50mm Joist @ 400mm Ctrs. Have fun and watch not chop any fingers off!

Yeah Anders, Good luck with the move and every success in the coming years. When you're established in Huelva, I'll be able to say "Yeah, but I've got one of his original Granada guitars!"
I bet you'll be teaching all of us soon how good Fandangos de Huelva goes...
(I think, if I remember right, Don Pohren said when describing various Andalucian cities) said .. "If you want all of your days, nights ...and hours filled with FdH...then Huelva is the place for you"!
Regards to Manolo when you see him.
Anyway...All the best amigo, (I'll throw a stone in the North Sea for you.. )
cheers,
Ron

Hi friends.
Last post from Quentar... (moving is weird )
Thanks for you warm and sweet words. Its really something I appreciate. We are comming to a point where its getting difficult to imagine a life without foroflamenco.
I´m not going to build a house. We are buying one, but the top plant is empty and I will make a new workshop up there.
