Tomangel, on a completely separate point, it looks like your posting about builders was moved by the moderator to the Offered, Wanted, Lost and Found section.

In that section people can't post replies on the forum itself but they can send you direct (private) messages. It's so that builders' names, phone numbers and comments about them aren't posted on the public part of the forum. It also stops builders themselves replying offering to do your job and getting a free ad for themselves.
