  [quote]Didn’t know pine resin could cause blisters. Just hugely sticky stuff, and didn’t some folks use it as gum?[/quote] DER:It doesn't blister as long as it stayes cool. But when the sun is beating down at 100 + degrees it will surely blister your skin. I have heard of folks chewing the gum, but I never tried it. As far as your problems, I wish you well. I don't know anything about them.I haven't ventured into DCC yet. As far as the glue is concerned you might try water with a few drops of liquid detergent to soak the rails. This might help to soffen the glue and allow you to clean it. Well folks, we closed on the second piece of property today. We are schedualed to close on the property in Mississippi on the 9th of August. I guess it's to late to change our minds now.The house we are buying was built in 1936. It's a bungalo style house with the large front porch and brick columns and brick steps on the front. The house is in really good shape. We plan on remodeling and updating the structure before we make the move. We still have one more piece of property to sell here. We will sell it around October. Then the only thing we will have here to sell will be the house we are living in now. I hope to move right after the 1st of the year. I will post some photos of the house after we close on the 9th. RYAN:Sorry to hear about all the illness you are having to deal with but I suspect they are in good hands. We are praying for their speedy recovery. Have been trying to remember who I worked for back then but I can't. Could have been your Grandfather. Well people it's after 10:00 PM here and time to call it a day. Sleep well-Sleep safe.
