    Hugh,
    I had a guy that turned up in a white transit van, with black marker pen all over it.

    It was his way of explaining to me what he wanted :headbang2:

    I guess there really are a few bad sign painters out there.
    I like how Cheryl’s lists measurements.
    Why are folks so hung up over measurements?
    Jiminy Christmas.
    Love….Jill

    Yes, they really are a pain.

    When I lived in the city, they were knocking on the door all the time.

    I now live in the country and never see a soul. It’s very quiet here but the power goes off occasionally ! 🙄 Plays havoc with the computer. You get power surges when you least expect them.

    You can’t have it all I guess 😀
