Just wanted to offer my sincere Thanks to everyone here who has offered advice, flames when needed, and assistance as I have muddled through building my home. Just keeping in touch with folks like yourselves who are out there doing this day in, day out, and still putting forth the effort to Do I Right instead of cheap & fast has been a big inspiration for me. I can’t remember how many times I said to myself: “what if Ed Williams walked in and saw this? Better do it right this time.”
While you can’t put a price on the advice given here, I would certainly like to catch up with some of you and buy a round of cold, malty beverages. Until then I guess I will just have to see y’all in the tavern.
Thanks for taking the time.

Wedge,
Geez man, I hate to be the one to break this to ya.
You didn't really take all that stuff we told you seriously did ya? We're really accountants and lawyers that couldn't pass the psych examination over at Ask.com. Hell, I don't know a span table from a picnic table. Sorry man.
PS. By the way, most of us live in trailers.
Eric
*Youse guys got trailers !!?????!!All I got was this musty old, cold, wet, cramped piggyback camper. I think it's time I negotiated a raise in terms of living conditions. Maybe I'll try to scam them out of one of those condo thingies... HAAAYY AAAAANNNNDDEEEEEEE !!!!!
*luka....don't andy me... it's obvious you already negotiated a better deal...when did you go on retainer instead of pay--by-the-word like the rest of us...i kinda thot the trailer bit would strike a nerve...
*Er um.... Retainer ? Did I say Andy ? Ummm, I meant handy. Yeah, thats it, that's the ticket ! I was talking to my new dog, Handy. Yeh, that'll do it. I um, I was telling him to scram, to get away from my condoms, because he likes to chew on them like they was gum or something.Ain't no one here on retainer to Taunton. No siree. Uh uh. No one. That post was all full of typo's. I guess I shoulda used the spell-check.I only get paid every-other-word. And they skips if that 'other word' is if/and/or/but etc. I don't get holidays. I especialy don't get company paid lobster dinners every other day. And I have to hire that limosine myself when I go to the movies or to the park for a walk.i ***Yeah, that'll fool 'em. That's the ticket. They'll never figure it out. Bwuhahahahaha...***You know, youse guys should negotiate to get Taunton to at least remove those firestones from your homes and replace them with something safer...
*Ya know, out here in the high-rent district we take the wheels clean off and put some lattice up around the "foundation".Sometimes it even gets painted.
*Ya gotta love a neighborhood where the houses have wheels and the cars don't!
*I'm in the process of upgrading my domicile. There's this sudden availability of Firestone tires real cheap! If I stack 'em up just right....Rich Beckman
*wedge,Thanks for your words of confidence. There are a great bunch of people on this site. I hope all went well with your house. My wife doesn't want me working on ours.........she knows that I'll never finish. (I still haven't painted those bathroom cabinet doors I put in 8 years ago.) But hey, another year or so and the whole bathroom will need painting again anyway. Regards,Ed. Williams
*Yeah, I think mine got kinda tired of hearing "Oh yeah, we can catch that on the remodel". That flew about twice.
*THNL ?
*PhilThought someone would pick up on that. actually it is THNX.
*You got a camper? I'm livin' in this box that a Frigidaire came in.... ;-)And my pickup sez "Safeway" on the front... ;-)-- J.S.
