I was so lucky to have all of you to answer my questions. And the second was Moral Support. Thanks to my wife and my trusty headlamp I averaged about 45 hours a week on the house after work and on weekends. But...I was always behind schedule. So when one of you would come over on a Saturday to give me a hand, that was such a huge boost...Now I look around my house and see the hands of the people who helped me everywhere and that’s pretty amazing stuff.
