Thanks for the treat, DavidWymore, that was just the very audible "fix" that my ears needed!

Well, it sure LOOKED like it might be a clever way to get it done. But I guess looks can be deceiving.

Oh, yeah; really hoping I don't get to this stage TOO soon; Lord have Mercy!!

You're not alone, stud. I've been catching myself in that "when-I-was-a-kid" mode also more and more lately, that's the bad news. The good news though is at least we can still remember those stories (well SOME of them anyway), right?

That's a smart approach. And if I was smart I'd use my camera phone more to document the "before/ existing" components of a project before taking it apart and then later trying to remember how it all went back together. There's only one problem though with this idea: - I'm not smart. That's...

The Brooklyn Bridge is riveted construction I believe, and the Empire State Building, too. They seem to be holding up OK. I mean a B-25 flew into the one, and King Kong even played on it, and it's still standing.

That is ingenious!

Hoo-WEE. That is a WHOLE lot of time to be reflecting on the gravity of the situation, and getting yourself some real-time religion. That is one amazing episode, and I'm glad you all escaped it without incident. Wow.

Did you ever see a a tractor-trailer IN it, one of those days you passed by!?

Problem is: - Most alternatives aren't so hot.

It's looking "purty".

Ouch!

My feelings for Jeepsinker (and both of you all), because I crushed my thumb once also, years ago working as a carpenter (alone, which was my own mistake). The thumb healed and works now, but it "ain't pretty" (it works though, and that's all I really care about). Life as an ape without a...

That's a right pretty spot where you're living; nice looking land out that way.

We'll all help you to "keep on keepin' on": - It's a great project, DW And it'll be extra great when you get it to where you want it to be:

Is the problem here: - Sentimental? - Or, Practical?

I like that parts cleaner. I cannot justify buying my own (just don't need it often enough). But I sure wish somebody like Lowe's or Home Depot had one in their stores you could use for a fee. How long do you generally leave something in there before it is "done"?
