Recycling.jpg This week is official START-NEW-PROJECT-WITH-OLD-PARTS-WEEK!

In this week it is fashionable to take some parts from an old project, and start something new with it. Remember to follow fashion! (Specially because you did not do so last week)

It is more fun to start something new with the old parts, than have them just sitting there for no use what so ever! All parts must be used, that is what fashion dictates today.

Always take a last picture of something (even if it was not finished) before you take the parts from it!
