Ha, you assumed correctly Jim, Bob-00 reads the forum sometimes but does not type! Allergies are a funny thing--I seem to react more strongly to chemicals then anything else. Maybe that was because as a youngster, my Dad, twin brother, Uncle and cousin, built small one man hydroplane boats from a popular mechanics plan in our basement I can still smell the fiberglass and epoxy to this day. Then again, it may have been from growing up in a suburb of Akron

I don't have a dog kennel (do have three dogs) but I do have a barn and yes, sometimes the pine shavings we use do bother me. But lucky for me, I have no allergies to the horses, much to Bob's dismay.

I admire you and your wife's bravery racing 24' cats with those mercs. We used to have a boathouse in Sandusky and had the "safer" Cigarette boats. Bob loved it, I closed my eyes a lot. Now we just have a beautiful Prevost that sits in Bob's building waiting for a roadtrip

Oh, and to keep this on thread topic, Lee, please send photos of the gorgeous tile work when it is completed. Are you planning on using the small mosaic tiles are larger squares?
