Hey, everyone sign in here

We are working on a whole new website.

New look more to do, I think everyone will like it.

Copperman, we are lot closer than that. Less than 50 by crow, about 60 by car.

And as one of the worst offenders when it came to initiating new posters, back in the day, well, I just hang my head in shame. Age has a way of doing that to ya, I guess. Sometimes you gotta smarten up a little to know how dumb you really are.

I aggree! HEY! Let's have one big welcome to ANYONE that is reading this thread to come on and say hello. You don't have to say anything profound, just Hello and where you live. We don't bite and I would really be interested to see how many people we reach. Homeowners are fine too. If you don't ask, we can never help.

Is that "Old School" enough guys?

Actually the way it shakes out seems to be east of the rockies, west of the rockies, anything related to Great Britain, and then Florida. In Florida everything has to be glued down, nailed down, screwed down, and inspected about a hundred times.

Lurkers are apprehensive by definition. It's healthy to be a little apprehensive. The status quo has been decimated by now; has existed only in memory for a long time. Anyone who began lurking in the last couple of years would have no evidence of such a status quo. I would say that for quite awhile it's been possible to say pretty much anything without getting overwhelmed. jmo.

O/S.....I also wish there was more involvement from out-west...However, there seems to be a significant difference on either side of the Rockies....Both business culture, (for lack of better words), as well as ideals related to mechanical aspects, (not sure if that makes any sense to most :blink: All the more reason to join in, one would think....Expand your horizon's?

One key component is the fact most of the western states have state licensing, and IMO, neither, (in a general sense), truly grasps the differences/dynamics of each.

IMO, I'm thinking a lot of the lurkers are apprehensive, due to the fact they'd be shot-down/overwhelmed by the "status quo"..... :dry:

I'm In Ravenna Ohio. 100 Miles north of Mike H. in New Philadelphia

No problem Colpaw. A lot of guys from Canada, but it is funny that no one from the Northern states hve signed in. Have I missed anyone from Wisconson, Minnasota, The Dakota's, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming. I haven't seen anyone from New Mexico or Arizona either. Come on you lurkers, reveal yourselves!

Manassas, Virginia....thanks old school for the kick in the ass to get more involved!
