    It's not the heat here although it's hot, it's the HUMIDITY! sub-tropical here and when outside you just sweat, sun or shade, working or not working it doesn't matter, you just SWEAT!

    How humid is it you asked? It's SO HUMID that central air, whose primary function is to dehumidify is NOT ENOUGH. I have to have a whole-house dehumidifier going
    24- 7 to keep up with hells front porch.

    NO! I disagree, in the west it gets HOT temp wise but the humidity is MUCH LOWER so, if you get in the shade, it's not to bad.
    With humidity, there is NO ESCAPE!

    That's what I was led to believe before moving here. Sorry I disagree, very uncomfortable.

    RE: when all you have is a hammer -

    You produce a lot of bruised and bloody fingers when hitting them with hammer instead of the nonexistent nail you were aiming at. Not a problem, except when they're someone else's fingers!

    When everything looks like a nail and you go pounding, you pound on a lot of fingers holding imaginary said nails. Some of them your own.

    About 14 hours of shuteye and a hot adult beverage by the gallon might help.

    Alrighty then, I had been tracking a reproduction eastern shore va. cupboard built by DR Dimes, a good quality builder of repro colonial furniture forms.
    Just to see kinda thing, the estimate was $800-$1200, it sold this morning for
    $3000. hammer or about $3900 with BP on 25 bids.
    Definitely put a spring in my step! I made the correct decision with my period cupboard!
