Hi!

Wanted to respond cause while I don't always have use for your wonderful tips, I do often. You can bet that the tips I haven't used will go into my memory bank for future consideration. I am retired and maintain my home, my mother in laws home, and my wife has a small antique business. So as you can see I certainly have need for your tips! Your e-mails to me are all read and greatly appreciated. Many thanks! By the way, you said your temperatures have recently reached near 100. Where do you live? I'm im Michigan, the greater Detroit area.

Again, Many Thanks!
Gus

Hi Gus

Thanks for the good words. I'm glad that my information is useful. My hat is always off to antique people. Antiques are going to be scarce from this era with all the particle board and plastic laminate so we need to preserve what we already have.

It sounds like you're a pretty busy person. Who said that retirement is a time for rest after a lifetime of work? Actually, I've found that being busier than I was before I retired doesn't leave any time for getting old.

We live in the middle of the Columbia Basin in Washington State, about 50 miles from the exact center of the state. The west side of the state is constantly soggy wet, but the Cascade mountains catch all the rain clouds and leave us with nice weather from about April to the first part of October. July and August really warm up. Before the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project we were considered a desert with sand and sagebrush and rattlesnakes, but now just about everything you can think of is grown here.
