Hi Pat,
I will be praying for both of you and for a solution from the Lord.  Men can
be so proud and sometimes it gets them into trouble.  Anyway, I will be
praying and I know that things will work out just fine.
Huggs and blessings,
Virgie And Hoshi

> If he could have brought it in the kitchen to fit it first, he would know

> The lamanent cost him $150.00 and the ply wood cost him about $50.00. If

> drain, as he will have to rebuild the top.
>
> Please pray for him for a change of heart, and that he will ask for help.
> He has to fit it first, and then finish the top, and then put it on for
> real. He will really need help putting the top on for real.
>
> Please pray that when he puts on the fermica that the contact cement
> doesn't stink too badly. He doesn't have any way to vent for air
> circulation, so he will have to open a door or window, which is okay with
> me. I'm really worried about this, as well.

> I'm feeling very bad about all this, and I could certainly use your

> Thanks much for praying.
