ALERT! We still need your pictures....

Update! We've only heard from about six of you on this. Please take a picture and email it to us. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just stand up against a wall in your house and have another human take the picture. Use your phone, or a real camera. Again doesn't have to be perfect. But we do need your picture to make the special memento you'll receive during the build. Thanks!

-------------

We're cooking up something special for this FORP. But to make it work, we need a picture of your face. (Don't worry, we'll keep it to ourselves.)

Here's the details:

The picture should be exactly like your passport photo. That is, straight on, head and shoulders only, white or light background with even light.

Do NOT take a selfie with your phone. Have someone take the picture for you (its okay to use your phone) Find a bright room in your house and stand against a white or light colored wall.

Glasses on or off, up to you. But try to take the picture so the lenses don't have reflections or glare from a light source. We want to see your eyes.

Without revealing too much of what we're up to, try to bias your expression towards the sober, serious side, without looking angry or disgruntled. Goofy grins would look a little odd for what we're doing. It's okay for Walt, but not for this.

Please send the digital picture via email to info@benchcrafted.com

FORP Lodging

https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=XYvFFpN2DRr 
The Cottages at Indian Springs State Park near Barnesville.

Bo Childs just tipped us off to a nice place for lodging during FORP 3. He mentioned that rates are very reasonable, and that participants could double or triple up per cottage to save a few bucks. Feel free to comment below and share info if some of you want to share.

Some have stayed here at past FORPs.

Forsyth, GA

Forsyth is the same distance to Wyatt Child's as Barnesville. Being right on 75 means lots more hotel options.
