We're just two letters and $166 billion apart...

If someone were to give me $166 billion then I'd change my name in an instant.
My name only has 3 letters in common with "Elon Musk" and none of 'em in the same placing.

If they gave me $166 billion I'd happily spend a billion on lawyers to tell them stuff off I'm keeping my name. :D

He'd probably make more money running a charity.  Lots of em over £100k p.a. last time the Grauniad did a survey .

It's been a little while since the last update so there's been a load of work going on!  We've now got the fire doors all framed and fitted, so we just need to paint the frames and pop some handles on these next.  They'll all need return hinges as well to keep them closed.

The office has had it's white finished off and we've added the skirting boards and protective strips on the corners.  The carpets are coming in on Thursday so we'll finally be able to get the office setup properly and catch up on a lot of paperwork/orders/queries.

The stairwell is now all white and we've tidied up some of the rougher edges with some of this handy plastic trim, it's amazing what you can cover with this stuff!

Out in the workshop we've been doing some more small jobs with the casting partitions topped, the fire window framed out and then the extra worktops fitted against the laser room wall.
