I checck on it every year,and coat it as needed,he keeps it clean and we have become close friends as a result. as for the latest edtion of FW,Ikeep hearing of it but have yet to see it in my mail box.Perhaps we in western Canada are among the last to receive it? I am very pleased you like it ,and incase you are wondering ,when I say (I)built this from lumber reclaimed from an old dance hall ,I mean just that! Hence the effort statment.
