Very nice, Richard. Now, would you consider coming to Texas and doing a "little" job for me?/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

It might take me a while to drive there in Brutus!!

Richard,
I can only guess how much work that wall was. Just think though, a 100 years from now, someone will be sitting out there saying, those old guys sure did nice work./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
