I want to thank everyone for their input on this board. I have tried to share some information as well as I have gotten a lot from here. I didn't have a computer for a while so I kind of fell out of touch. Even though I haven,t been here it seems that the board has survived. I'm glad to see that.
I'm not doing as much as I used to because of my arthritis but we did just put a bid on a house that is basically a total gut job. I will turn most of the work over to my 22 yr. old son ( who I urged to find a different line of work, but this is what he likes.) I guess I shouldn't had him start working with me when he was 13. I look forward to reading more of your information and experiences from now on.
thanks to all
and Merry Christmas
Tom
