Good idea on the test spot... we plan to rent one, so we shall do just that. Gosh, I hope it works. Otherwise, it will be a tedious and back-breaking task.

This is the family summer cottage I am talking about-- we've been over once this year and surveyed what's needed. Next step is getting at it! We had the cottage foundation reinforced and jacked up last year (saggy after 30 years, ha, what isn't?) and so it's time to spruce it up, now that it is on a solid foundation. It's so easy to let a place that gets used 3 mo of the year just slide... and it's hard because 3 of my 5 siblings are not really interested in taking these projects on (cos they are too busy or broke -- which is somewhat laughable, cos if WE can afford to contribute, they all can) which is frustrating. But I guess we just need to suck it up and do what needs to be done.
