Hoisting ?????

[Greg Newell]

Wayne,
         Thanks for your two cents but even the 
people you suggest at one time didn't know how to 
do this and relied upon suggestions from others. 
I WILL go ahead with this for the simple joy of 
trying something knew. I believe and am confident 
that with enough info put together before I begin 
I am reasonably assured of success or at the very 
least avoidance of disaster. My glass is half full!!
