Yea, between all 3 of us, me you and Kasey... it was what... 2.5hrs of prep? PLUS the paint time that you rolled out later!

The VHT should stand up to some crazy temps... 121deg C... IIRC.

Get that thing up here so I can point out flaws
hahahaha, congrats on getting that done!

we took care of that in..... 30mins. Then ruined my backyard painting the piping and my girl's shirt sanding and prepping everything.

Oh...but it's all good, I got a nice set of some glasses out of the deal.
