Okay! I used to like to take things apart … Not now when this is so important and expensive. I can se five screws. Two at the top. Two just below. And one deeper down. Which ones do I need to remove? Can I do it while the underpinner stands as it is? Or must I turn it over or something? Sorry for al...

Estancia has left the building. Their seller was here and made an impressive presentation. When he called I thought “oh no I’m happy with the suppliers I already got.” Now my knowledge has broadened. Thanks Keith!

I’ve been lurking here since January so I think it’s time to go ahead and ask questions. I’ll start with an introduction. I’m Stina. Used to work as an engineer until I got burned out. Spent three years in art schools. A lot of happy and unexpected circumstances and I ended up as the owner of a fram...

Hi! Gonna write an introduction soon.

Does anyone have experience about this one? I have some questions.
