Wow! Your post reminded me that I meant to get up at 5 this morning and bid on their Carmel property. Glad I got the extra hour's sleep!

I never got through either, then the last time I tried received the same message you did. What a waste of time and hope.

One of my neighbours does quality control inspection visits for LHW. It's a hard life for some....
