This comment right here..thanks for posting it...seriously. This is why we often times say, GET A PRO, period. Sometimes, when there are things that you cant see, WE sure cant see them over the net and the liability of trying to help feel around, as it were, in the dark (dark being the internet) isnt worth it. Sometimes you have problems from day one, even thou things seem to work fine. When they fail, and things are put back right, is when you find you have larger issues...or the original screw up caused more than you realized.
This time of year is when the bad stuff shows up and all of us get behind. Im so far behind right now I cant see daylight and the ONLY reason Im on now is to send a mail to a customer.
Good luck and hope it all works out.
