I give up Howard. I'll make the videos and you figure out the links for me! I am completely absorbed with this project!

barb...

i feel like giving up sometimes when i comes to technology...it's very frustrating...settings, advanced settings, turning this on and that off...selecting this or that...but i do marvel at the things technology does...but only when it works...

the restoration you're having to do is more extensive than i thought...and thanks to video technology...we can all follow your progress...

my very best regards...

howard...

i can see your videos---and boy does this look like a lot of work!

Thank you for letting me know, Maria! And yes, it is a lot of work... but I am really enjoying it!

Well I t-h-i-n-k I did the Youtube thing correctly, so here is an update on the big house repair. Coming down the home stretch!

yep...YouTube link works perfectly...and this is one exceptional remodeling job on your part...

question...what are you thinking about for a new base?...

howard...

Howard,

No base on this one, and not planning one. I need to be able to light it and the only way is from the bottom. I am adding a stairway, courtesy of one of our forum friends who is also an architect. It was killing me that there was no way into the house!!
