I've long thought one should be wary of Monday the 13th. Combines the "fear" of 13 & the general dread of Mondays. Besides, other than those who work on Saturday, who doesn't look forward to Friday?

I live in an addition to a house where the owner hired pros to do the foundation, and to do the framing, to do the siding & to shingle the roof. All done very well.

I love the idea & I've done it before, but that's my problem with this idea... 1) it takes longer to collect/prepare windows, updates, drivers, & favorite apps to put onto a new disc than it takes to just install it all, 2) when you install windows in x years, you have to do it all over again as there are new updates,…
