    Since this is how I make my living, I will have to say that your point is valid, but I have also spent a ton of time in the field with some pretty stupid contractors. Obviously not putting you 2 knuckleheads in this category, but I have seen some of the experts on here try to build a simple woodshed that look like a stack of Jenga blocks 15 minutes into a game. :doh:

    Structural or mechanical engineering? And I do know some pretty shady builders that don't deserve to be called professional.

    :eek:

    Architects for sure, depending on the materials he specifies and the special little things he adds it can double the price for a roof in just materials and labor.

    How did you get it out?

    I've had only 2 in all my years of burning. I just left them for a while then reached in and gently took them outdoors .

    Opened the stove door and back door (straight shot across room), pulled blinds on the other windows. WWW and I had fishing nets and kiddo used her arms to guide it, smart bird, right through the door. Took some prodding from me to get out of the stove alcove but I was surprised how easy it went!

    (the kind of fishing net to scoop a fish from from water after it's reeled in)

    3 weeks and 4 days since I injured my tailbone. For the first time today I could raise my knee up to chest to put socks and shoes on. Of course I still had to tilt to one cheek or the other but the most verticle I've been able to do that it in weeks. :banana:

    Just spent 2 hours sanding on the GTG cutting boards. Starting to take shape nicely here. ebb45070-e5be-4f25-acd1-c9e4e513b2e0.jpg
