Our local big-box "buyer's club" store (Costco) does very nice canvas prints of photos as well, for extremely reasonable prices.

Mr. Moxon, that would have been perfect for sales literature back in the day.

This day will live in infamy and sadness, Kitsch is alive and well in many areas of The Samba but to have to look at a Kincade when I visit? And in John Moxon's gorgeous thread!? It's just too much... 
Hope there's a moderator somewhere who can rectify this travesty...

Everything any sane person would ever want to know about thatched roofs. Thanks, John! 
Among the tidbits:
11. How long does it take to thatch a roof?
Dependant upon the size of roof and number of thatcher’s. A family sized four bedroom, detached house would probably take a team of three men about one month.
It takes four men two days to remove the old roof and put on a new tar-shingle one in my area for a similar-sized house. Wow.
Sorry for the hijack. Back to John's Karmann Ghia.

Not to hijack this thread, but it does seem to dwell on things John Moxon. Since you mentioned thatched roofs, I recall that traditional thatched roofs attract all manner of bugs and other critters who like to live in the stuff. Do "modern" thatched roofs have ways of overcoming that? And is there a way to fireproof them, and to waterproof them so they don't get moldy?

"HDR"...I learned something new today. Thanks! When I'm in the market for a new camera I'll look for one with HDR capability.

Nice pull...Kincade visited John one autumn at his country villa. Right next to the John Entwistle estate... John, aren't you just down the road from Roger Daltrey now?

John is a Jedi master at photoshop. John, where are the pictures of the Ghia at the great wall of China?
