Hi Mike, I'd like to see a few photos of what Sandy comes up with, mostly out of curiosity. Would you mind taking a photo or two, perhaps once the change is made? I'll eventually see the end result on Koobalibra in the Bras d'Or this summer but by then I'll probably have forgotten Dave had the turnbuckles changed.
