Yes, I recieved the DVD and your letter. You might as well just write "VOID" over that check record....it's the least I could do for one of our servicemen.

My library does not have the book. I've seen the show twice now in the last week on PBS but due to my wandering away during the "money pitches" I only caught a glimpse of the last few seconds they showed of the inside of his cabin.
My question to you all. Does the video show or the book say what he used for flooring?
Just wondering if he had cut a whole bunch of planks with his handsaw for flooring or what??
