Sorry to hear that you got yourself into this mess. As a general comment, in the future you might want to use a more informative title in your posts, and to also tone down the SHOUTING!!!! and the HYSTERICS!!!!! Most people at LQ will go out of their way to attempt to be helpful, but clearly whether you are trying to seek help, or you are trying to offer help, posts that follow the LQ guidelines are in everyone's interests. Good luck with the repair. -- J.W.
