I've talked to too many buyers that have had sour feeling for the surveys they have had done ... no matter how many pages or how professional the notebook of items.<br /><br />I learn something every read ... so keep posting.RichChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507799739935427266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-86222191903361733782011-05-16T12:29:36.507-05:002011-05-16T12:29:36.507-05:00Ed, thanks.

Still a bit of a "Stranger in a Strange Land", I think the surveyor saw me coming; (Bill is right, this guy was a quack.) friends at the marina might have underestimated the change in scale dealing with the Tartan; and the people who owned the boat before us simply didn't use it as we intend. Once I get the mast disaster squared away and canvas flying, things will be a lot better.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459069175481821975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-81970802257210266412011-05-16T11:43:57.224-05:002011-05-16T11:43:57.224-05:00Tim and Deb,
