   Guess this means I'm still waiting for the next current issue? Should I head to HD to pick up a copy or just keep on keepin' on waiting? Joe H

   *I've got both of 'em on my desk, and there's no way that I'm going to mail them until the first of the month. Seriously, we try to make distributors hold their news stand issues for long enough so that subscribers get their issues first. If you see the new issue in a store before you get your subscription copy, please e-mail me your info and the name and address of the store.Andy

   *Jimbo, With the weather we've been having lately, movin' back East doesn't sound too inviting. We could use a little rain though... Sam

   *I got my issue of "Jim Blogett's Fine Home Building"yesterday.Once again an interesting article by Jim. And Stephen Hazlett has written a nice piece on reroofing,congradulations Stephen.So Andy, I just realized what the reason for Taunton spending so much money on this board might be.Vince

   *Vince, it sure has been a great place to find authors. However, I don't think anyone planned that. One other reason that we maintain the board is that all of the editors are still sort of awe-stricken by what a great pool of knowledge exists here. Andy

   *Excellent work Jim. Those iron jacks look OK. But man being on a ladder under a wall you're lifting sure looks scary. Once again great work. Nice hammer too.jim

   *There you go again. Through rain and snow and black of night, or something to that effect, and the magazine is delivered to the coldest, most inaccessible places first. You'd think they'd at least be able to get it here to warm, sunny Florida at about the same time, given the lack of weather generated obstacles. But nooooooo, delivery in the sunshine isn't in the creed, so tough, wait.By the way, Jim and Steve, congratulations in advance. Looking forward to more FHB, sponsored in part by Blodgett, and now Hazlett, as well as those lesser known but still recognizable names (Guertin, et al).

    *That big fella offered what I thought was an elegant solution to that scary problem. Basically, when the wall reached a certain height, you could switch to long jack handles that were bent on the end to keep you out of the wall's footprint. I still ordered 4 Proctors when I got home though.JonC

    *Yeah, yeah I forgot about that. Jim Wilson said his father in law used to have handles for those jacks that were bent in such a way you could raise an 8 foot wall without a ladder. Glad you mentioned that Jon. I forgot all about it.

    *Andy, Don't you guys keep up with technology? The correct way to lift a wall is with a telescopic rough terrain forklift. That's how houses are built nowdays. No one should build one without one! You just wrap a strap around the wall and gently lift while you retract the boom. If you use a long enough strap, it's easy! Jezz, do I have to write an article?

   Ol' Jim C.L. Blodgett Has two articles in the last two issues and is on his way to be the senior editor. Another good one Jim. Stephen Hazlett has a good one also . But I want to know how you get away with taking the mattress up on the roof?
