I kinda missed not falling through a hole in the floor when sliding the towers through the door though. ;~) Good job, Leon!! ... -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 10/22/08 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

Or PLANED it any closerg Reminds me of a remodeling job I did here at home. Special ordered a 5 lite Andersen casement "window wall" to fit where the garage door used to be in our new family room. Rough opening ~ 12' wide and ~ 68" high. Unit delivered by millwork company already assembled so we just slip it in, right? There we were with all my help from the office and the truck crew and we set that sucker in place and damned if I didn't have to turn around and bump it into place with my butt. I was sure glad that the humidity was relatively low that day.g |

Yeah, I think so. LOL. Which reminds me of a very good friend telling me about what I like to refer to as Chapter 498 of his yet to be written book. He called me to specifically tell me how his day went, he is a great storry teller. He was building a rather long fence and had literally fenced his truck in. He had to take a section down becaure his escape route was too muddy. Getting his truck stuck was another story all in itself. |

Wow! Does SketchUp have a relative humidity function, where it calculates the expansion and contraction of the various pieces to make sure it will fit? A humid garage and dry house might mean Leon had to wait until 8:27 this evening to get the clearance needed to move the towers in. ;-) Puckdropper -- "The potential difference between the top and bottom of a tree is the reason why all trees have to be grounded..." -- Bored Borg on rec.woodworking To email me directly, send a message to puckdropper (at) fastmail.fm |

Simply give your model a GPS location on Google Earth and go from there with various, easily available, climate/RH tables. It will also cast the correct shadow according to the month, day, time, and the GPS location ... for real! :) -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 10/22/08 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

Could not stand it up. Toe kick was removable so after removing it and setting up cabinet and raising it up I could slide toe kick in place.I learned that lesson. WW |
