[Rhodes22-list] Foam

[Austin Carter]

good to hear, the only problem I did see when I looked at it was under the
side windows I noticed a slight abmount of rot. Pretty sure the windows
leak a little and are starting to rot the wood out below them.

Anyways, is it ok to attach pics directly to the list emails, or do I need
to just attach a link to the photos online? Looks like I'm going to get it
tomarrow and would like to post some pics when I get it home.
