Chris, I'm very comfortable with 'waste', but Ted also works I'm glad to have been able to 'support' your gut feeling, I do this stuff for a living and wanted to share from my experience.

Your plan sounds like a lot of work, but I'll bet it's worth it when completed!!

I congratulate you on your undertaking, and having the forethought to ask here about the project!!

I wish you well, not only with the renovation, but also over the winter -- any chance of some before and after pics?

Take care, Chris -- Hope to 'bump into you' again -- Ted (A/K/A waste)
