You don't _know_ me; you've never met me or spent any time in
conversation and yet _you_ can parse my comment to conclude that I am
a bigot; well _I_ can just as easily parse your statement to conclude
that you are a bloviating buffoon, but _I_ wont.
It was just such ad hominem assaults  combined with my illness that
caused me to pull back from this group some 6 months ago.I see _now_
that was the right decision.
you have _no_ idea of how badly that idiot butchered this house; don't
know his name or race, don't really care> What I _do_ know is that as
an engineer he was a FOOL who endangered the residents with the
upstairs bath. 2X4 laid on the flat instead of vertically, sheathed
with 3/8" bead board , then  covered with 1/2" plywood a claw foot tub
was in place: and the whole room racked, the floor where the tub was
drops 3" in the space of 4 feet. Its a bleeding miracle that the floor
didn't give way with someone in the tub.
The kitchen sink is no better.
Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen
