It’s just terrible that you’re so far away. You could do very well in the restoration business here. Always appreciate you sharing how you get things done.

A different approach for sure and probably brought on by being snowed in
for 11 months of the year ;D ;D ;D

Beautiful work as usual Runar.

I wish you could come to the CLA show in Lexington one year so we could all meet you.  I think you would have a crowd waiting to shake your hand. 

God Bless,   Marc
