(...) Over dinner (missed you, Iain!) we agreed that the usual 8' x 8' wood border, which is painted white fwiw, will be there. If the boards fit in my Subie, I will pick them up from Dave next weekend. And then I will work out how to get the boards (...) (16 years ago, 10-Jan-09, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
