I don't see any problems with the page at all (iMac, IE 5.5, NN 4.7,
1024x768). Actually the home and farmhouse pages look great. Maybe it's
not what you want though. Can you explain in terms of how you want the
images/text layed out.

There is a lot of scrolling up/down but nothing stretches off the page at
the above res.
