[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 514130, member: 13556"] Yes, us too! I'm willing to bet that it is very well built, because you had and have a vested interest in it being so. Neither of my grandfathers completed sixth grade, one getting there and the other not making it out of the fourth grade because they were required to work. Neither of them worked in the trades, either. In the 1940's, one of them built a house with indoor plumbing and an electrical generator to use in case of a power outage. That house is now being used as a commercial property outside Jacksonville, Florida, and it is in great shape. My point here is that you don't have to be a "professional" to get things done. You do need to know what you're doing and care enough to do a good job. The lack of either of these can cause problems in any building project. There, I've dropped my mouth on the floor again, and it's gone off again! WM [/QUOTE]
