@Bill Gulley   would appreciate your input here and your help on the project.AS this is going to be a private citizen not a Habitat type org.How would you structure this to make sure that the person doing this is successful.I want to make sure the job gets done.. your detailed thoughts on structure would be a good learning experience for others.
