    Stacy ,WOW! You are a Do-It-Yourselfer EXTRAORDINAIRE! I am impressed mixed with a little jealous (can't decide if I wish I had the skills and know-how for myself or of I'd married someone with them.) I am so glad I found this post you made to the blog, I almost missed it. Can't wait to see how it all comes together!
