Thanks everyone.
Gary, pwhay - It is a great job. I've been working in construction since I was old enough to carry a 2x4. It's great to be driving away from a job and look in the mirror to see what I've accomplished that day.
Superdave - Actually, they were trees that covered the entire front of the house, really ugly trees at that, and I did cut them down to have acces to repair the porch.
Hunter-27 - I'll be on a plane as soon as I hit the lottery.
