Billy Apple Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I've just spoken to Howard and he asked that our community is updated with news of his health and the situation around outstanding work. Howard has ongoing respiratory issues and regrettably this means he can no longer undertake work that produces dust and vapour. He has contracted out some jobs, and is finishing what he can. He is aware people are waiting and has asked that members remain patient while he works through the back log. At present I cannot say whether all outstanding work will be completed and I cannot comment on any monies paid by members who are waiting for items. Knowing Howard as I do I'm sure everything will be resolved, but please can members understand this may take some time. May I take this opportunity to wish Howard a speedy recovery and I'm sure all in our community will be sending out good thoughts and best wishes for his return to health. Sean Quote
