   Joe:

   Thanks for the links. I've been to some of them, however some of them get kinda dull and are reversed threaded like Hometime and take forever to find the most recent. I didn't know you had your own. I'll have to stop in when I get the time. Chris at ...man I can't keep track of these forums! handymanusa.com has a few forums-- he started one for me listed as flooring. I'm having problems with keeping up at others.

   Improvenet.com is a good one as well..it has a direct link to AOL. Lotssa categories. todayshomeowner.com is another but that site takes forever to load as well, due the site administrator doesn't archive that often. thathomesite.com deals with some good topics but the web host booted me for so called advertising. Spike..LOL at that site is probably some college kid that thinks he rules the internet.

   Advertising? What a joke! My purpose in these forums is to lead others for answers or answer the best I can. Lesse..what's another forum? Most of the forementioned are those plain folks that are looking for good answers from qualified people.

   Geez..I have a few others but I'm getting tired.

   Ken:)
