Nice Todd, though leaving the horizontal lines sloping down to the left I find distracting a bit. If they are "that close", I would have to argue as to why it would be better for the image to leave them as is. /B

I think the horizontal lines are not just sloping to the left (the bottom lines slope the opposite way) This looks like horizontal keystone, which can be corrected too, and I agree that it could improve an already nice image

Agreed. I like the image therefore it is worth correcting. Personally speaking I check all of my images for such problems and in PS the skew function on a Smart Object layer does a very good job. If you don't check and correct then it always gets picked up on when posting.

I don't object to the way the image is framed. I miss seeing some color in the clapboards and other parts of the picture.

Thanks everyone. I think this is better now? but maybe not? best I know how to do at this point anyway. I did try the PS Skew suggestion but I don't know how to use it, so more for me to learn.
The way I did what I did was using LR Distortion correction panel.
Thanks

also did one with more Saturation

The one I am going to print. At least until I have learned more.
