   this is a house i have done some work on---- it's owned by the mother of a good friend of another Breaktime regular------- the owner is a super nice lady-------but she won't listen to reason exactly the house was built in the 1950's--- used slate was installed at the time---and it's been a problem ever since--almost since the original install. when I started looking the roof over ------hundreds of galv.bibs which have been there so long the bibs are rusting out. Many,MANY slates replaced outright---many face nailed and caulked, there is a problem behind the turret that I think we have turned off--- but it is never going to be permanently resolved without replacing the roof entirely but ya gotta love the house

   I don't know what you are resizing with, but you are still  way big...you should be aiming for 480x640 and under 200kb or so.

   Agreed.  If he spent 90 minutes resizing, something is wrong.  irfan does it with just a few clicks.

   I just resized a whole batch of my garden , 18 pics, w/ xp's resize button. Put em in a folder on desktop and sized the whole bunch w/one click, in 10 seconds or less, and have a full size copy in the same folder.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

   this is way more hassle than it's worth clearly something wrong on my end-- but I just ain't interested in posting pictures enough to invest more time in this at this point--places to go, dogs to walk etc. anyhow walter-- i have some slate pic's a a few houses we worked on--plus the carriage house project---plus the tile roof project I should be starting shortly i was thinking it was a Ludowici tile----- but a bit of research tells me it is a Sharps wedge tile-------- Ludowici bought them out and currently owns the out of production molds--- i should be doing some restoration work on THAT roof in augustAfter THAT---- I think I am going to be doing some carpentry work on a house built in 1815-------that will be the oldest house I have worked on by about 30 years--aint many of them around here Front of the house was jacked up and the sill and front stone foundation replaced---- stone mason referred me to the homeowner----- I should be working on Extensive siding issues, capping some pilasters-- replacing window sills, a mess of sash to replace, corner boards to mill and match-----and basically and endless amount of work on one side alone-------- house has about 5 OTHER facades to work on later................ heading to the parkstephen

   walter-- what's easy for
   YOU--- isn't necissarily easy for me. what I should do is email the relevant pics. to you so you can view them at your leisure-- i think I could just about handle that,LOL. also---- looks like I found suitable tiles for the sharps wedge tile project. customer is currently teaching a class in Mexico------ but i hope to start that project in 7-10 days or so. whole project should take 12 days or so---about 5 of them pretty nerve wracking, LOLstephen

   Haz-

    Don't sweat resizing the pics, just get them up here any way you can. Plenty of folk can resize them for the dialups once you post them.

   Cheers
