Hey Marson,
May be OT or not, but how is the double walled house you asked about a
while back going? I remember you were asking about how to seal VB to
windows in DW construction and have many times wondered how that project
went/is going?
Sounds like you get a lot of customers similar to what we deal with hehe.
