I hope this is the introduction thread... I'm new here. but not new to home projects. I've been in my "starter" house for 32 years and just like it so I stay. I'm not an experienced "fixer-upper", each project is pretty much new. I've done a lot of different things, but seldom more than one twice, so each project is new to me.
My career was as a telecommunications manager at a US Federal Agency, so all my home projects are as an amateur. The most technical job I ever held was as an Assistant Manager at a Market Tire franchise. So I have to research and study any home projects I do as new things.
As I said, my house is 32 years old and some things are failing. I'm dealing with the minor things well enough, and I understand older stuff well.
But new technologies are outside even my little experience. Things I thought I understood are no longer true. So I'm going to be asking for some advice, but also reporting on things I've learned.
I'm experienced at discussion forums and know the rules. I know I'm a newbie here. I sure won't be seeking to upset anyone. In 2 other subject forums, I'm one of the experts; here I am not.
So I'll be asking questions unless there is something very specific I've learned about
