Anymore takers with Paul’s questions?:slight_smile:

So! The answers so far are incorrect?..Huh?
I’d give it another shot…

What! No takers from different Members?:slight_smile:

Hello Marcel. I could not log on for a few days but I’m back. Hmmm, I found the information for the questions in a short amount of time so I thought they were fair questions. Maybe everyone is too busy inspecting?

Bump…

Bump in Color. :mrgreen:

If and when the question opens up to us old guys with multiple wins, I’d love to give it a shot.

Old guy! Hell you don’t look a day older than 45. Must be an old picture. :mrgreen:

That is up to Paul to decide Steve.

And I fail to understand with 165 people on line right now, how they can’t give this a shot to win these books. ;):slight_smile:

Give it another day. I am busy building a deck plus I got out sailing today. I’m gonna go rent a movie and open it up again sometime tomorrow.

Thanks Paul. hope you are coming along good with your deck. :slight_smile:

Decks going ok, raining right now. I was hoping to get some deckboards installed. Not going to happen today.

The pic may be a couple years old - Ill be 58 next week. But I’ve been building houses / contracting since 1976 so there’s that.

I wrote down my answers the day the questions got asked. I haven’t changed 'em.

Well Happy Birthday Steve, before I forget. Stay young. ;):slight_smile:

Well Happy Birthday Steve
Enjoy the day and the Cake .

All the best Roy .
