Harold;
I can certainly understand the situation of the rejection by the inspector although I have never been in that particular situation... I have been in situations where you thought you had done your best when in the final result, it was not good enough.. Heart wrenching at times. Especially, if there are other lives at stake... The main thing I learned (the hard way) keep a cool head and NEVER panic.. That can get everyone in a "Pickel".

I would sure like to feel that I could call on you for advice now and again?

I'm sure that if you were to inquire of readers, many would tell you that I offer my "advice" all too freely. So much so, that a few wish I'd shut my mouth.

Always happy to help when I can.

Could be, but generally it's a matter of differing opinions. My background (aero-space, defense work) causes me to see things differently than many do. Doesn't help that I have perfectionist tendencies. Hard to tell if I'm seeking excellence, or I'm just plain crazy!
