We were fortunate to have Austin, George and Stefan, from the NW USA, stop by for a couple of days to help us frame up the kitchen and laboratory in the new Center for Ecological Studies. The guys wanted to accomplish something on vacation besides hanging on the beach; we appreciate their time and talent.
