I guess the act of writing it down causes me to remember.<br /><br />Even with the photo, I made one mistake in a pipe's color! The tiny one going up (near the page gutter) was actually white.Vicky L.

I've used photos and notes but wondered how you handle the situation.john.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561752999008175780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437733278011128705.post-54021037856447745702015-12-28T12:41:24.402-06:002015-12-28T12:41:24.402-06:00Cool!

We saw an old hand operated elevator similar to this one in a chapel at an old historical cemetery in Ft. Worth where they lifted the caskets from the basement for the funerals.
