Yeah, well we saved him the lifting part of the job. But he did come through on the plumbing and a support. His hand is still a little "stiff" if you know what I mean....LOL

Thanks for the encouragement, hope to have my set up half as nice as you guys....when is the next Swap-a-paluza!!!!

Next swap is typically in October, but there will be some BBQ's and informal gaterhings over the Summer.
