#2 would not make me happy...do you have a re-stocking charge? They shouldn't get to order a custom-made item and then change their minds without consequences. You have been so very busy...I don't know when you sleep!

May your safety in the rain continue! Your list is long, but you seem to accomplish a lot every month!
