Looks like your place to me...is this the original renovation or something more recent?

GSF are people too!

You took a bunch of time off to at least supervise IIRC? Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau

GSF are people too!

No one in their right mind would ever allow me behind the controls of a dozer...but it sounds like a helluva good time.
