Wow, sounds like more trouble than it's worth, a glutton for punishment are we?
Happy B-Day by the way.

No choice, I used to work in a cabinet shop where oddly enough my son was my boss. Long story but basically was helping the owner. Anyway learned a lot about laminates and woodworking associated with counter tops.
Plus I put my foot square in my mouth and said I could do it, soooooooo...

Mike, I'm awed by your construction and handyman skills. It's been 7 years and I still haven't concealed 12' of ugly TV cable wiring that currently snakes all over my living room floor.

Thanks Ravi, I have many skills but as the old adage goes I am a master of none.

For me that point was in January 2000, when I had bypass surgery! And again in November last year, when I had four stents placed in arteries feeding my heart. I'm alive today and feeling blessed, thanks to advances in medical technology - nothing else!

No clue if this helps. It just helped me a lot last week; thought I'd suggest it

Thanks I'll use that for sure. I have TurboCAD but it's a pain to do simple stuff and steep learning curve, been trying to learn it for years but I don't use it that often so I forget how to do simple stuff.
We already got it laid out just need to apply elbow grease.

I've known a few women who could hide it in their mouths... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Maybe in her bustle, if she is married to Abraham Com. And she is a hefty specimen called Dorothy. Known to friends as the "Amazon", or more fully as Amazon Dot Com.
My apologies to Leslie!

Please put this in the Soapbox forum so I can tell you how a woman conceals a carbine.

I once checked the women's restroom at the Ace Hardware where I worked, to make sure it was empty before locking up for the night. Inside I found the empty plastic package for a Mag-Lite - the one that takes 5 'D' cell batteries. Checking inventory, I quickly found that we were, indeed, missing one, along with a 6-pack of 'D' batteries. I long wondered how she got that out of the store unseen. Now I wonder if we're talking about the same woman here.

That's ok; even if loss prevention stopped her on the way out the merchandise would still have had to be disposed of in a hazmat dumpster.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
