Thanks guys. I hate the term "its good enough". Its either good or its not!
Beltfed, my nephew is talking the same language as you as to what we can do. It will be at least a week before we can get bck to it. (building his son a house) and I also want to talk to my gauge resto guy who has been doing this for probably 40 years. I'll hopefully see him before the week is out.
I'll keep you guys posted so don't give up.
As "suitcase" says on the Jesse Stone movie series "the information is out their, we just have to let it in". Love it!!
