Here's a complete (old) novice from Inverness in the beautiful highlands of Scotia, it's five to six in the evening here, and I have been trying to find a site where us complete novices can be assisted!
I am a lecturer in construction over here in bonnie Scotland - that's always a problem, our construction is just so different to most of you who are on line, but if you don't mind assisting an old duffer over here in 'old country' I would be more than happy to receive any assistance you might be willing to provide.
Haste ye back

Terry
