George, I apologize for saying what I really felt - I guess. On the other hand, all committees are idiots, in a collective sense. Everyone knows that. So I wasn't guilty of any real abuse.

The Dutch Barn is a beautiful building, but that doesn't make the problem any less real. I concur with DB that the most effective fix, while keeping the ventilation and the natural lighting, both of which are to be desired, would be to rotate 90 degrees, with the state at one "side" or the other, rather than the "back." But I don't know if the state is a permanent installation or not.

Peter.
