[Public-list] Bottom stripping/drinking

[dan walker]

think i will sand etc. save the cash for drinking.
  on another note, i made the mistake of telling my wife that mr lehman put a gimballed flower vase on gilleleje(sorry about the spelling) for trish. seems i may not love my wife as much as mike loves trish unless i install the same. so mike, where does one get a gimballed flower vase
