Naw, Sam had the rebar already, no point in buying more or nails, he's the guy with
the Sawzall, the !/2 inch drive drill motor, all the male toys. (Grunts like Tim
Allen) Plus he's got two sons still living at home and the beds are beside the
driveway. ;-)

Yeah, it's turrible here, it rained a little while ago, a real duck-drowner, and the
humidity fell several points. We've been getting high nineties temps in the late
afternoon with 96% humidity, really miserable weather to try to get out in. I don't
think I've got any knives or saws sharp enough to cut the stuff though. Luckily I've
got enough office work and remodeling to keep me under the air conditioning right
now.
