[Rhodes22-list] TN WX and Honey Do's

[Michael Meltzer]

well I must say that if you had 3 children and only has 1 head and 10 fingers between them that might be a little out of the norm
:-)

Sound like you know the answer better then me, if you are comfortable with you skills doing it, the stuff is the SOP answer for
doing the job, it can look great. Read up and make a decision.

The only thing, A person doing it day in/day out should be better than someone from from a while ago :-) And you have to live with
what ever the results are :-)
