I had a good talk with a man who is a PM of...
I haven't been on here in a while or done any research on masonry which has allowed my mind to cool off a bit on all the things I saw on the net.
I may still petition but if I do it will be in Sept or Oct most likely. I have just gotten so busy lately. Thanks to all for your input even those...
