Gentlemen, thank you for the warm welcome and compliments. If I did anything right it is a credit to the members on this forum because I followed your advice and examples

Regarding Irma, we had some wind and rain but nothing catastrophic. However I was in Houston visiting my doctor that week, and in fact due to leave on the 26th, the day that Irma hit.
I saw the weather forecast and started making other arrangements, and my alternate flight left Houston at midday on the 25th.
When I saw the aftermath on the news I decided that it was time to finish this project, so here we are.
I agree that 38AC is a real asset to the forum; I have used several of his tips as well as the Utterpower CD to help me get this far. I intend to try his valve adjustment method in the near future as well
