Chibble, eh? I like it, a new word!

Pretty good job of making round holes with straight blades, my efforts in that direction usually come out quite a bit more jagged. Part of that is due to the "face full of slurry and sharp chips" effect which tends to encourage rushing your work, that plexiglas shield is a good idea.

Hi Kurt,

Yes - for the Elves. Original plan was to house all the elves on the third floor. But they all got old and retired before I got it ready. self-hammer

You thread on one of those hand held shower nozzles and ya rinse your back after a disk in the tub Kurt. Seemed like a good idea long ago. Guess I'll never know. whistling

I should have called the professionals too. Doubled the prices non the guns and called the guys with the chrome trucks. surrender

Good to hear from you. Did you get all your pipes squared away?

Yessiree I got it all flowing down hill . Luckily everything I did Is under the house and not subject to scrutiny , My house Was built in 1943 and Plumbing is a marriage of cast-iron, PVC , galv pipe , and black Plastic ! That was before I started now I'm proud to add rubber to that list . But it's all good now thanks fer asking .

Thanks
Kurt
