hi bruce/mclina,

bruce - yes i had read that and i had even printed to read as i did the wicking, reading carefully before, during and after..........no excuse for my own stupidity there!

mclina - how right you are, i am watching the snow fall as we speak! yet another 6" of that lovely white stuff!!! can you explain a little more about the "overhang" thing you mentioned please? i'm not quite sure i fully understand what you mean there.........p.s. nice to see a local on the boards, i've never seen anyone from these parts here on the boards! perhaps you could PM me so we could talk further, exchange phone#'s in case i have another dilemma at 8pm? having someone local that could help in these newbie days would help me greatly, as you can see!

thanks all!
