Bert, I'd love to. I've got family in Jersey clamoring for a visit, it would work out nicely. I'd thought about going up the middle of September, and would be happy to spend a chunk of a weekend hammering, painting, singing. I do some of my best singing with a paint roller in my hand. Somehow, show tunes work well on such occasions. If I bring my banjo, can someone show me the way around a chord or two?

Keep us posted.
