      Hey TH,
      Mrs. Jet here.
      It's all my fault ;-)
      Jet and Bubba have the job of putting in "real" stairs in my bestest friends house in Toronto. Their 4 year old really needs his own room, and Jet is in charge of getting him there......as well as tearing down several ceilings, I'm sure he will keep all of you up to date.
      Wish him luckLuv ####

        Hah. I haven't heard from Bruce in weeks. Just Ian, who e-mailed me last weekend in reply to Ryan's phone message about the trip to Newfoundland. Good, responsible boy you've got there.

        I got big news for you guys, too. "There's something happenin' here, what it is ain't exactly clear...."

            Nice, nice. Very nice....

            Is that new staircase a bought unit you installed, or did you design and weld it up as well as do the wood and the install?

             

            As for your news.... Wassup???

            Gonna have to talk about that next week on the phone; I'm not posting anything for a while yet.

            But it's good. Gonna make ya smile.

            Me? My cheeks hurt from smiling so much.
