Geez I knew it moved, but when you see how a trapped wood movement

can appear it's remarkable.







I'm glad I picked up on the Canadian accent, because the guy kept saying

"mil" when referring to his measurements. It wasn't until he showed the

reading on his gauge that I realized he was talking millimeters and not

thousandths of an inch.



Do all Canadians really say "mil" in reference to millimeters?

It's not a Canadian thing, but a metric thing. In the lab when working with milliliters, it's common to refer to them as 'mils'. A 'mil' is commonly used but the context must be known for it to have meaning (i.e length, volume, mass).
