Bob, I've talked to a bunch of people about that very problem and the one thing they all agreed on was the time limit I had before I had to even begin to worry.......11/2 -2 yrs. I can perceive a change in stand structure before that time happens.....but you're right, noted and I will keep my eye on that! You know no matter how you plan.......and a bunch of planning went into this, the practicality is that SOMETHING isn't going to be or function as the drawing says it should........that I'm learning for sure! That's why I say the "building" of the room my be forever!........... ;-) The whole "dwarf list" is now invited to Florida for a vacation!!!........We don't have any snowdrifts down here...........oh my god.......snowdrifts!
