Johnathan McClure ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Joy To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 12:07 AM Subject: [USMA:24386] Building in Metric Hi all, Here is a picture of yours truly (left) with the builder (right) in the dead of winter six months ago. We are studying the plans of the extensions to my home, which are all in mm. (The next storey/story was yet to be added.) But now I'm very pleased with the results (where I'm writing now) and hope it won't be too long before all American builders will see the light and measure this way. Best regards to you all, Mike Joy, Perth, W Australia
