Oh well done, **Elmwood**! 🙂 It looks like a very nice refugee camp. I shall be stockpiling bread, cheese, lentils, barley, rice and probably some wine. And woolly jumpers! I should look out a tent and a little camping stove too. ---

And **Elmwood** , thank you for setting up the refugee camp! I’ve already booked a bunk far away from the door, so the evil bunnies won’t eat me. ---

Thanks for setting up the emergency bolt hole, **elmwood**. I like the design, too. ---

I’m in too, under my old SDMB handle of **Case Sensitive** {I miss that handle, but I doubt I’d be allowed to change back here}: nice work, **elmwood**. ---

Mebbe, mebbe not: thing is, this place has never been what you’d call an asset in terms of generating revenue. It _could_ be, given the right pair of hands, but given a pair of wheels my grandmother could be a bicycle. As it is given current priorities, I suspect we’re more a drain on CL resources than anything else. ---
