If you can find a plastic mallet this is the best to test the covered sole plate area.

I'm not sure the correct way to do it, but here's how our guys do it.After the plastic house wrap is put up, they wrap felt from the inside to the outside on the sill, so it lays flat against the sill, and lays against the house, over the plastic, about 12" down, and 4-6in to the left and right of the window.

Just common sense stuff, not "rocket surgery" lol

The neurosurgeon who did the surgery, his colleagues, another neurosurgeon, or a talking head on fox news?

Keith- both those pictures are of Rich Weese.I weighed 362 pounds at my heaviest and had a gastric bypass surgery in 1994.

:)We have the firm jigglies over here, home of the plastic surgery!

OTOH, this is really only an issue on exposed metal or people, so insulated wiring or plastic piping should be unaffected.

Eddie,I think the banks need a bypass - coronary bypass surgery to be more specific :)As for government creating a "temporary banking system": for some reason, I just don't like the sound of that.Not sure how to solve the "get banks lending again" problem.

If I use this kind of material (or even a cheapy plastic 5 piece tub surround) does it matter what is behind it (e.g. sheet rock, green board, etc.)?

Larry, would you use your doctor for a surgery if you knew he had no insurance?
