Pretty sure you mean voil`a.

I tried to put the grave accent over the a but this software misinterprets it when I type it correctly.

OT - OF!!!

voila'

You're spelling viola, a big violin.

[hausdok]

Yep,

You're right. I corrected it; 'cep'n that danged grave accent mark you've got there is in the wrong position. I know how to do it right in windows, it's alt 0224 but this danged TIJ software interprets it as something else.

Next time I'll just use...Aha!! Is that spelled right?

Nice find, John. Yeah, your French is terrible. That must have been tricky feeding the cable in and out like that. Very skillful.

I drilled a pilot hole for the guy from inside the house that came out just under the lower edge of a siding plank.

Easy to hide and caulk, I thought. He shoved his big old drill in there and came out in the dead center of the plank. Beauty!! [:-dunce]

I don't find it odd that a cable guy would drill a hole like that but do find it strange that he'd go ahead and run his cable through it also.

There's reasons they make jokes and bad movies about cable guys.

Imagine his surprise when he carefully drilled a hole in the mortar of my brick facade, through the sheathing about two or three inches above the ground on the front of my home, missed the sill by 1/4 inch and water came pouring out.

The twit drilled the copper water main running the length of the sill from entry to kitchen.

He was glad I wasn't home!

Was all that funky electrical discovered when the drywall was removed, or is that a consequence of the exploaration?

I dug up a clay sewer that was backing up in a street one time and found a 2" high pressure plastic gas line the gas company bored through the center of it,yeah these things happen! []
