If you live in a house for MANY years one day you look at something and it doesn't look the same as it did when it was new, so there must be something WRONG with it.  I hope the fellow you refered her to was able to "fix" her problem.  Ruth

Ruth: As a little old lady you would know the difference. Her house was 
desperate in need of a paint job -- it was showing bare wood -- and she 
was looking at her stoop that had absolutely nothing wrong with it. I'm 
not sure how it got resolved, but sometimes homeowners need a therapist 
more than they need a mason or carpenter. ][<en
