Thanks Josh, It is an interesting forum. The translate button works well to read in English. Its good to see people using other languages are as excited about our hobby. It seems to be another friendly and polite group. Kenny

A few months ago we had a real drywall guy redo our kitchen and living room. It took one day. There was no sanding, no dust, ready for primer and paint. He is the second drywall-er to tell me he makes the big bucks by people trying to save money by doing the drywall causing them more work. Kenny

Chuck, Thanks for the tour, enjoyed it very much. Kenny
