I don't know what is happening with the Yahoo Group. I can't get in anymore.
No, Jim, I am no longer tracking that info. It consumes a lot of time and so very few expressed interest. I just quit. I don't spend near as much time here anymore either.fjimp wrote:A few minutes ago I read the following on the monthly Yahoo group rule posting message.

Dusty I believe you were tracking this at one point in time. For the sake of curiosity here do we stand on the size question now? fjimp
Dusty I am saddened to hear you are investing less time here. I find life moving in a sufficient number of directions that my time here is limited. Time in my workshop is also far more limited than I would prefer. Most projects here focus around attempting to get this old house to a standard we are comfortable with. The prior owners had there kids living in the house while they were in another city caring for an elderly parent for over a year. Somehow I doubt they were clearly aware of some of the differed maintenance that accumulated. We have worked through one issue after another. Electrical and plumbing issues lead the list. We expect to have the outside of the house painted in a couple of weeks. Planning for an addition is ongoing. We would like to complete the addition before winter. Somehow I doubt that can happen. Regarding painting prior to an addition; the paint on our house won't get thru another winter without serious damage to our siding. There is only one 20 foot section of siding that will be removed or otherwise affected by the addition. Still if the addition doesn't occur prior to winter the cost of not painting would outweigh the paint cost. fjimpdusty wrote:No, Jim, I am no longer tracking that info.

You gotta do what you gotta do. But do not worry, the forum will get along just fine and your wood working experience will most likely benefit.dusty wrote:No, Jim, I am no longer tracking that info.

Interesting comment from someone that has made more then 150 posts in the last month and more then 500 in less then 4 months.dusty wrote:... I don't spend near as much time here anymore either.
