That sounds like quite the endeavor Mr. Sulu. I'm not much good with plants and maybe neither are you. I'm teasing. Good luck with it though!

[helmsman_hikaru]

Really? I think that might work better than my little seats. The grape-grapefruit fruits are starting to get flat on the bottom. :}

Not a problem! I'll get started on some tomorrow. :)

If you'd like, Mr. Sulu, I'll be sure and set aside some scrap just for you. I'll make sure no one else tries to take it, aye?

That would be awesome. I've been thinking of building a little greenhouse & some pieces of transparent aluminum would come in handy!

Actually, it's funny you should mention that; I've got a whole load of transparent aluminum left over from a little side project I was doing.

It's tinted, but I could probably manage a couple of panes if you don't mind that. If you do... well, I can separate the tint compounds, but it'd take some time.

It should be fine if it's not too tinted. Thanks!
