    Gark,
    I think I remember discussing this with you last season. I had 3 year white oak that got put to shame by less than a year white ash. The oak did well too, but no doubt the ash off gassed better.

    That looks terrible Brad. I hate those high temperatures at this time of the year. 50's sound much better now. Maybe low 60's too.

    Set a very small fan on the floor in that cooler room and blow it slowly into the warmer room. That will even out the temperature and won't take long to do it either. Just a small desktop fan run on low speed is all you want or need.

    Agree! Around here, the average high is 74, but by the end of the month, that drops to 63.
