Skin-on-Frame: Official declaration of a build start!

Actually, I'm 13.25 hours into building a folding Tom Yost Sea Tour 17R already.

But this morning I made the white-knuckle drive to Pembina, ND, to pick up my aluminum tubing and snap pins. So now I'm really off and building. To give my honest endorsements to anyone nervous about mail order, Texas Towers, Valco and Mike's Parcel Service all delivered exactly as promised and were a pleasure to deal with. Even the border officers were pleasant. The roads were not pleasant, just enough ground drift that you can see everything clearly except the asphalt. The ice on the way home was definitely not fun.

I'm taking photos, so far. What do people think about the various photo websites for storing a build blog? Based on what I've read so far, Webshots sounds just right.
