Thanks. How do you get those pictures in your post like that? I know I read how to do it earlier but when I went to post couldn't remember how it went.
Thanks,

If you embed pictures, be sure to keep them small. There's actually people out there still on dial-up :-). To keep them small, I changed them from bitmaps to jpegs.
I attached the pictures
previewed the post
clicked on the attachment (to open it)
copied it to the clipboard (ctrl-C)
hit the browser "back" button
selected "revise"
pasted the contents of the clipboard (ctrl-V)
mumbled some incantations and hit post... ta da!
Ok. Picture is a little large but I got it. Thanks,

Thanks for the update. Everything looks good so far. If you want to ensure that your new trim boards don't curl, alter your nailing on boards a bit. Instead of nailing down the center of each board, stagger the nails high and low. Also, double nail the ends of every board. This prevents the twisting action from starting during the drying out process. A lot of guys will double nail instead of staggering. I'd probably double nail trim boards.
