I added a 3rd quoin
removed all the coppers and checked each line against a standard
width... so there is now a minimum of coppers, and I am 90% sure all
lines are the same width.
I moved some furniture, tried to give it more support... no luck
Maybe I am tightening it too much?
thanks everyone,
Kristin
