May 24, 201115 yr comment_448705 Started the morning with 1 1/2 hours in the dentist chair getting my new crown seated. Couple of new experiences for me .... digital impression, new prep of the tooth for the crown (both last appointment) and new glue to make it adhere. However, I'm quite pleased with the final result and it was worth the wait Mind numbing training session for 4 hours this afternoon. All shit I've heard dozens of times. Replacement door arrived from Shelter Logic for my shed up north. Barely in under warranty, but in. I need to move the shed and then I'll replace the door Tomorrow ... get to do two days of work in one day. Now there's something to look forward to Report
