One of the things I want to get into right away.  I'll order a bulk load of wax
shipped over as one of my first purchases once I have a computer working there
if I still cant locate a local source in Norfolk area.  55lbs of candle grade
still costs under 70$ with shipping at my usual source.  Since I'll need
scents and wicks (probably color chips too) and can get it all at one spot,
this works for us.

Good idea.  I'll do that.  We'll underprice for sale but I wouldnt want to be
silly and sell for 500$ if it's easily 1,000$ (which I think is what it is
normally resold for).  This is a very *nice* one with glass display case,
about 5ft tall and 7ft wide.  It's really a lovely piece but overpowering for
us.

Looked like it.  Mostly time was spent showing the wrapping of the twine to
hold on those round parts you run the line through, that and the handle.  They
would make nice wall art in our somewhat fisherman nautical home...  Humm,
thats an idea to keep!

Possible.  We've done a bit for neighbors to refinish 'old stuff' to update it
to a newer look matching their decor.

One thing we want is a solid wood door with no paneling (or removable paneling,
or paneling on just one side) to make into a flip down garage table again
since the old one got damaged by tenant (just an opps, these things happen and
we wont charge them for it).  Too bad they didnt save the old door as the door
itself wasnt damaged, just the hinges and flip-down foot.

Yeah but cant have everything.  Meantime, they are probaby watching us chat and
having fun at our speculations.
