Ernest,
Sounds good.  I have the house done now, so I have a
little more time now.  

I also saw Joe's post on the subject.  His advice
about mixing small batches is on the money.  When it's
hot, you can't mix too much at a time, or it will
exotherm on you.

Just let me know a few days ahead of time of when you
need help with a layup.
