Martin and Dave were quick to catch my error. 4.83m does, indeed, convert to 15'10", not 14'10". Sorry 'bout that. After nearly 40 years in Canada, this ex-Kansan still has problems with that metric stuff. "You can take the boy out of the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the boy." Cheers, Roger
