Maybe you can post some outside-view photos of that low-flyin' spruce goose
:-)

BTW do you live in NY or Florida?

Yes, they set it to zero on the ground (QFE), just like everywhere else in
Europe.
And also don't forget that aneroid altimeters have a certain margin of
error,
especially when it's cold or warm. (I totally forgot what's the legal
allowance is,
I think it's 25')
