Hi Patti, my apologies for the delay in replying -- i was refinishing the floors in the house and had packed everything up for a couple days. I haven't got too far on the costing. I dropped my SS and Sabre logo off after our last round of emails and being a favour --- it seems paying jobs took precedence! The pricing from Tom seems very reasonable and it would be hard to get a better cost plus shipping from Vancouver Island always seems to cost a premuim. thanks Tom for taking this on!
