If you type in the post box there is a spell checker that will help with some of your troubles, underlining with red the words that you may wish to pay attention to. I'm no Master Speller and don't represent myself as one, but there are many folks from around the world reading this, some replying, and they take the time to use proper English for our convenience. Maybe you could too, Gale from Omaha.

Thanks for the compliment and the advise. The spell check didn't seem to work, guess I need a download...
As per the the statement, my colleagues gave me that title a few years ago, I am pretty sure it has something to do with the work I have left behind me. I have just recently learned to own it and go with what works.
I grew up in the trades and was union for 17 years (local chairman) until I went off on my own. I have experience in most every trade except for hanging steel, some only as an apprentice and a good handfull as a journeyman, manager and owner. My Father was a carpenter and his father before him.
