A Bold Idea!
I just read a bloggers request to have Watson and myself send out an email to you all when we answer your particular comment or question because it takes so long to scroll through all the blogs. I don't know if Watson or I ever discussed this with you , but we'll always put our comments in bold when we respond. This way the text will stand out as you scroll through and you can see what the communication is on this or that. Also keep in mind that there are thousands of you and just the 2 of us. Between shooting shows, taking classes, raising 3 kids with my wife, and flying back and forth across the United States I'm doing the best I can to stay connected with you all concerning everything Blog.
Best,
Ahmed

Paint Colors (ON HOLD)!
Hello Wonderful Bloggers,
Site Manager's Note: Unfortunately, due to a scheduling concern, we've been forced to take the Paint Palette voting choice off the site for now. Please look for it again in a few weeks. Rest assured that all votes are recorded and the tabulations will resume where they left off. Sincere apologies for any confusion.
Best,
Watson, DIYnetwork.com Manager
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only three voting choices for you this round, but choosing the paint palette is arguably one of the most critical decorating/design decisions you will make. Sherwin-Williams has you covered with some great palettes (I agonized over this one personally).
Also up for a vote is the dining room chandelier and the style of walk-in closet for the master bedroom. And don't miss the latest 3-D renderings of Blog Cabin 2008 - check out that back patio - WOW!
Choose wisely and happy blogging! Your humble servant,
Watson, DIYnetwork.com Manager

Do you folks ever sleep?
I told Watson that lately I've turned into a blog meister. He agrees!
I have been cheerfully inundated with your questions and concerns about everything from "what that small tree is on the left close to the house," to sending me much appreciated information on solar lights that might actually please even the skeptics.
All I want to know is, when do you folks sleep?
Burning the midnight oil,
Ahmed

It's a tough job and it's mine
Crying the computer blues...
I have no problems reading all of your blogs and comments but have been having plenty of trouble getting my own comments and replies back to you. Thanks to plenty of phone calls and emails to Watson, things are sort of looking up (I think!).
This whole "sitting for hours on-line" thing is new and sometimes painful for me.
I love all the information but am slow with bouncing around, chatting back and forth, researching different products etc. I much prefer working outside with my hands.
Still trying,
Ahmed Hassan

Paying Attention to the Details
Hello everyone,
This next round of voting focuses on some of the cosmetics and extras of Blog Cabin 2008. Choose a cool toy for your sunny afternoons on Watts Bar Lake, feel good about your surroundings with an outdoor green feature, relax in an adirondack or rocking chair (painted or natural), select your patio furniture style and last, but not least, choose your kitchen cabinet hardware.
Happy voting!
