Wayne, I just looked at your webpage. I think you did alright as far as
cost. I'm sure it hurt to pay out the $800 for the frame work, but unless
you're close to being an expert, I think safety demands you bite the bullet
and have a professional at least advise. Looks like a good installation, but
I don't know if I would have the nerve to do it. Bob K in PHX, AZ.
