I've known Dan for twenty eight years. His idea of helping me was a beer in one hand, a lit cigarette in the other and wise advice coming out of his mouth. He always wanted to show me how to do things but I always had to do them myself. That's how he taught me. The house that I had bought, needed to have natural gas put to it. This required venting the attic, putting in a vapor barrier and blowing an insulation. This was quite an extensive job seeing that this was a 1928 built Stucco house. After these jobs were completed, the natural gas inspector came out and informed me that I needed to have vents in the soffets. (Dan would appreciate me using the appropriate term) Due to the configuration of the siding, putting in the soffets would not access the attic like the inspector wanted. Bringing my dilemma to Dan, Dan wondered aloud what a hole would look like in the soffets. Deciding it would be dark, he had me go up with the vent cover and a piece of black construction paper. Satisfied that indeed that was what a hole would look like, Dan had me place the black paper behind the vent cover and then screw the cover into the soffet. Needless to say, we passed the inspection. As his son-in-law, I will always cherish his advice and friendship. Glenn Gibeault
