That is a big part of this very wonderful website... Ya, we all get to 'weirs we are going in many different ways... And I can say that none of my building projects has stood the test of time to date. However, loose nails, siding and others, have been a big thorn in my side, and very costly to me, being built by others, shall I say, over my years here on Earth.
Way back in the early 60s, I was in fact in the ShipBuilders & PipeFitters Union out of Boston MA.
No more, I did keep my Big Red LunchBox though!
I just wish that I had some more Waldow & Pepper's Lobsta rolls in there!
We Are all snow happy to have you here with us, RLW and that you got rid of that antique manual typewriter so's we can actually read just what you are saying...
Bless you,
Terry
