SURVEY

Please take a few moments to fill out this 10 question survey.  Information gathered here will be compiled and put online to help answer the many questions I get of "How do you . . ." or "What should I use for . . ." etc...  Please feel free to leave blank any questions you don't know or that don't apply.  The more responses I get, the better the data will be to help others trying to do the same.  I very much appreciate your time on this!
