It’s not going to be too hard, actually—once I learn to tie pages together. We now have the print color straightened out. If the size is still too small, it’s CSS and you should be able to scale it up, but if not, tell me and I’ll fix it from...

In these economic times, and having been a homeowner for many years, I’ve learned a few things that save a 50.00 fee here and there, which adds up mightily. I thought I’d invite other tricks and turns— Sprinkler heads. So you hit it with the mower....
