I actually drove around in 6th gear at 45 mph today on the icy, slippery, scary as all muthereffer roads in NY in the pouring rain.

I was actually replying more to support ard as many other posters were just shouting 'throw money at it'. Sounds like you have a plan. Hope it's not anything serious and your P enjoyment continues for a long time to come.

Hi Steve-
Thanks for the follow up, its all good! Sounds like life is good in France. Its been a while since I've been to Europe, I have tools, will travel to work on old farmhouses...

Cheers!
Chris

Hey Chris,
I actually need help here. My carpenter has been busy with another project for months and 2 other 'regulars' that were often here doing all sorts of stuff haven't had enough time in the past weeks either. I do an awful lot myself, but doing everything alone sucks. Working vacation in France?
