Hi All,

Two new discoveries, one possible teardown.  That's a first! - finding 'em faster than they can tear 'em down.  I'm afraid it won't last though.

Our first Re:Building guest contributor:  An interesting article by friend and colleague, Tim Loftus.  Thanks, Tim!

A restoration tip - I wish they were all as easy as this!

Don't forget to check out the links.
