We ended up puzzling until 2:30 in the morning and getting pretty punch drunk on lack of sleep. I really love staying up late and puzzling at the table with M. We end up making fun or each other and laughing ourselves silly. Apparently, I do this thing where I place three fingers on the puzzle while I hunt. M calls it my puzzle hug!
Since this is our first blog, here are the progress photos to date!
 |
| The puzzle arrives! |
 |
| This is what 32000pcs look like! We are gonna need a bigger table. M is in the background, she is thinking, fuck this puzzle! |
 |
| Starting the sort of section "A" |
 |
| Time for a beer |
 |
| Sorted! |
 |
| SO MANY PIECES |
 |
| The army of white pieces. The section in foreground is 500 pure white pieces to search through of "standard" pieces (2 out 2 in tabs). I soon seperated these into horizontal and vertical pieces effectively cutting the search space in half! Very helpful tool to solving this puzzle! |
 |
| Progress! The puzzle repeats itself. It is cut as 1 picture wide and two pictures tall and then all pieces repeat. Therefore, each section has exactly two identical pieces. This makes it easy because shen you fine once piece , you can easily find its partner while doing the border and double your efforts! once i discovered this, it goes much faster! |
 |
| I quick message to M! |
 |
| Section "A" frame completed! Now I can break the frame onto the much more manageable puzzle boards and get the table back! |
