I checked it this morning before making my final decisions, ½ was as tight as a harp string and the other half had virtually no tension at all. Then there was the variance of the end, which I hadnt mentioned. Where I tied onto the beam the variance was about 1 to 2 inches at most. When I finished winding it the variance was closer to 24 inches. I should have stopped and fixed it then, but (duh) I went ahead and tied off. Just glad I realized that I would need to fix it before I got too much done.

I use mainly natural threads, but if you used manmade threads , they will be even more affected by changing weather, humidity etc,,,, mirjam [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
