The fireworks festival is about to start, cats seem to like them. Finally get my brothers account straightened out completely tomorrow, this has been a real pita. Got a wall knocked out so now theres a decent open dining room in the place, get to do another job completion in the basement and then its time to rip out both of the kitchens. I sure like tearing apart other peoples houses and putting them together the way that I want it, customers always seem to like the final result. Tom gets a built in china cabinet in the dining room this time around, should be able to raise his rent on both suites.

Many yrs ago I removed the wall between our kitchen and dinning room which really opened it up.

This was only a 8' wall and a 10' room but it sure made the place look bigger, going to give it a day so that Tom can get used to it and let him know what else I want to take out. Tom always says yes now but he needs to build the picture of how it will look in his mind first. When its done I'll post the before and after pics, the change should be pretty dramatic.

Hopefully you can get it back in time for cruising yet in what`s left of this summer John. I don`t blame you for not wanting to buy long distance again.
Same here Gerry, always nice to hear from you.

That`s about par for the course. A $299 US brake booster master cylinder kit for my 53 M100 cost me $550 a couple of yrs ago. I really got hosed on the shipping and handling to the tune of $175 US.
