        What about the pre 20 enthusiasts?

        And Dust is a special category for Dusty!

        George, when we were younger we learned to categorize the retired community into oldies, wrinklies and crumblies (pre dust)

          Ha! I didn't know that you can show who voted what...

          Makes me glad I started my oven last year and not this - makes me feel at least ten years younger!!

            Okay, so my vote was preemptive. But I'm 36, and if I can't start this project before I turn 40, I probably don't deserve my own WFO anyway.

              Do we win Caputo if we are in the top category?

                ...or maybe the one to have been in most categories during the build wins?

                  I definitely know builders in the 60+ camp. Jim, your poll sounds like age discrimination.

                  Side note -- my sister-in-law turns 50 today. Good thing we aren't in the same country right now. She has a few months to settle down before summer vacation. :-)

                        Re: Poll what age were you when you started your oven

                        Sorry,

                        I played flog today (golf spelled backwards). Played might not be an accurate term.....

                        Funny thread. I laughed my butt of at SJ's answer.
                        Ken - I'm giving away 5 lbs of moth infested flour to the winner, webs and all!
                        Dave - George feels over 60 somedays!

                        I kinda thought that the 40s was the domebuilding eras of our lives. It's a bell curve, no doubt. It might be fun to break it down further someday.

                          I haven't started mine yet; but should within the next 4 or 5 weeks. But by the time i'm done with it I'll be almost dust.

                            I know the poll is closed, but I'm in my 20's, so that's at least 1 person. I started in July/August and hope to be done by year's end.
