Quoted from ArcadiusMaximus:

Thick skin when dealing with others who are bringing attention to potential code and construction issues? What a take my ball and go home attitude...You're posting in a public forum what are you expecting, just pats on the back? Nothing that was said was particularly out of line so take the comments into consideration and move on.
While this topic is apparently is dead, I look forward to the "Help my garage collapsed and crushed my pin collection" follow up thread.
