Yes, it is the same size as an S3 with all the same features but for $100 instead of $250. An only been out for 6 months instead of almost 2 years like the S3.

Good evening everyone.

Hi Jay. Sounds like a blast. All we got was rain and more rain on Saturday. Trails are junk..... looks like no more riding around here this year.

How did the seat wedge work?

From this.....


To this.......


Some of this in between.....


Here's da wife all smiles with what will be her new counter top.....

Hi Jim. Looks great!!!! Maybe that will give me some inspiration to do our stairs. I have had the parts here for a few years.......

Nice work Jim!

Sounds like fun Jay. I was hoping to get our kids on the sled around my Dad's place but the rain pretty much took care of that idea.

I have a tread template tool I bought for $20. It made the job of fitting the treads and risers without leaving gaps a lot easier and worth every penny too. I would ideally liked to have replaced the trim on the walls also, but that would have required pulling out all of the treads and risers at once. I think that would have upped the suck factor exponentially. Just do it.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'm off to do some sofa surfing. Goodnight.

The seat wedge worked great. When I remake it I am actually going to make it a bit taller.

That does suck Michael.

Good night Jim. I won't be on late tonight I know. Tired...

The S3 was released in May 2012.

I am back in an HTC phone and am happy with it. Looks like the Incredible 4G was released about the same time as the S3.

I don't really care. It's just not worth all the extra money for basically the same phone.
