I'm a michigander in IT as well. But home improvements have always just cost me money.
Well, IT's steady money at least, though it does get old as we do IMO.
Never been to Churchills in Southfield, I'll have to check it out, do they have many pipes? I've got...plenty of tobacco d/t rampant online buying, but it would be handy to hold a pipe before purchase! (though why I'm so stingy with pipes when I spend that much on tobacco monthly, only a shrink could tell ya!)
I'll have to check it out.
Welcome to BoB!
