Harv:
Great to see your postings again. Took a while to read through this entire thread. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the book.
A thought about the building clips. Many years ago I was involved in getting the first of the internet going. I worked for the phone company at the time.
One of our marketting guys had a saying at the time which has since proven to be very true about the internet and his saying was "Work locally but think globally". I think that might just be the answer for your building clips. Don't worry about the patent but more about getting your product out there in the market. If you can pop them out locally and use the internet marketting you
cut your marketing costs way down. Just a thought. Good luck with them.
I really like your pictures of the horse stalls. Happen to be building some myself and I'd really like some close ups of your securing mechanisms if you have any.
To say I'm impressed with your work on this monumental task would definitely be an understatement. You have a huge amount of "hootspa" to take on something this huge. You're doing a great job on it. Keep the pictures coming. Is the skinning new or was that salvaged from the building? It looks in excellent shape if it was.
Cheers.
Glenn.
