    What do some of you folks out there do as a side profession besides software development? I'm sure there's got to be some unique ones out there.

    Give me ambiguity or give something else!

    Nothing right now. But, I have often considered doing primary school teaching or child care.

                                    We've got a guy coming in a few weeks to replace the floor boards in the upstairs rooms. He's going to take out the mess that is there, put down a ply wood subfloor and then glue and secret nail 80mm tallow boards. He'll then leave it for a few weeks to acclimatise to the moisture level in the house and return to sand and polish. Between the laying and sanding I need to replace all the door trims as the new floor will be about 10mm lower than the exsting. The walls are rendered brick and a lot of the render is "drumy". Any advice on how I can get the old door trims off without disturbing too much of the old lime render? I leart the hard way when painting that drummy render should be left alone!
