Hey that's me! - no not really ;) I guess big yellow tongue means the
tape measure? I checked all the pics and didn't see one where he's
sticking his tounge out. Anyway I've got alot more stock photos of
other "service pros" that I hope to be able to make show in "context" so
that you see a maid while searching for a housekeeper, a painter while
searching for a painter ...

I'm actually running around 770px. I don't like fluid size because I'm
a control freak and I don't think I can make a decent layout that looks
good in both 800px and 1200px.

Others have mentioned that too. I did not realize it's a problem. I'll
research but what is the preferred way? % I guess?

Another good catch! I'll have to figure that one out too.
