This is probably a response that Derek doesn't care for much. ;) But....
Thom, it sounds like I'm going to have to buy several boxes of nose tissue
because I know you're going to have a pretty good sob story to tell on
the way down. :(  ;)  Anyway, I agree with removing everything again but
don't be too hasty in doing so.  Go slow, and kind of talk a stand back
and look at it from a non-judgemental stance.  You may see something that
just sticks out like a sore thumb.  As you've mentioned before, you'll 
probably think of it in the middle of the night and toss-and-turn till
you get it done.  I know this is hard to do since you planned on being
alot further along than where you're at.  I've had many a 2 hour jobs 
turn into long weekends for a variety of reasons.  As the Great Muir
said, perseverance prevails!

Oh well, not much help but.....

Cheers!

Steven
