Hey! Where'd you get the base for the metal stand? I love that one! That would look great in our house (er, I have the low-end antique thing happening)...

Hey Nathaniel, I don't mean to hijack this thread but how did you get to volunteer for the oil clean up? I have summers off and I really wanted to do this, but I heard that no one without hazmat experience could go to the sites! : (

I'm jealous!
