    Guys-- I just finished the second draft of my upcoming resource (and super short kindle e-book) Responsible Wood-Burning or How to Not Make Your Neighbours Your Enemies. I am looking for a few people to proof-read and give feedback. Keep in mind, I use the Queen's English, so don't count those as errors.

    Order of the segments is not final, and there will be an introduction to come as well. Anyway, if you're interested let me know.

    Adam, I was wondering about some of your spelling, thought your were raised in england lol. I'd be willing to look at some things for grammer though I am not the right person for technique editing.

    got it. I don't have MS Office, but I use viewer if that works. To clarify, leave the Queen's English spelled as is, correct?

    Correct. I wrote that on Libre Office, which is free. Open Office is also free, both are good if you need an office suite.

    Adam, I have a really busy time coming up for Monday & Tuesday but if you need it, I'll give it a shot but not sure what I can contribute. I believe you do have my email. If not, let me know.

    Dennis-- if you could read it over the weekend I would really appreciate your input and notes. I would like to expands things a little bit here and there, it's really tight right now and I don't want to lose that. Your input is one that could really help me.

    Right now it's just about two legal pages long, shouldn't be a big job. I will send it right over.
