    Building a Craftsman Wood Depot with Peeling Paing

    Mark, My apology. I had a similar comment elsewhere and responded and I guess I thought I had responded to both. I did not mean to ignore your comment. I appreciate what you are saying. I am trying to keep intros shorter. I know that I do have a tendency to over explain things. It is kind of...
