Thanks for the idea of my writing on houses, Mary; but, it doesn't fit well with my engineer soul. Even though I shall put it on my "to blog" list, I must tell you that I've never checked anything off of that list.<BR/><BR/>Most of my professional life involved some sort of report/plan writing--and I was good at it. Mostly because I would start with the skeleton, add tendons, then muscle, then skin--and quit. Too many of my engineers started by writing lots of fat, then a smattering of skeleton, tendons, and muscle throughout--which meant that most of my review/editing time was spent slashing. Without a real goal in mind, writing gets extremely tedious for me.

You really know your way about construction, don't you. Wonderful! The picture of your paternal grandfather, below (at least, I assume that it is he) is a dead ringer for my father when he was of the same approximate age. Please keep writing this fascinating tail, Mary.<BR/>Cop CarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
