Craig - Mom is a treasure and the pics are incredible. You need to suggest that 1 picture is nice, but another 25-30 would really fill in the empty space around Spiff Manor!!!

A bit of general input from an older guy. Based on years of tinkering, fixing and painting, I have neither the time or the appetite to continue doing those things. I have evolved to answering the incessant requests from my wife to continue doing these types of things by introducing her to "Ray's Homeowner's Repair Kit". The RHRK consists of only 2 components - the Yellow Pages and a checkbook. My muscles don't hurt, my knuckles aren't beat up anymore and time is available for golf. Life is good.
