Thanks, Hart.

And very timely, I must say.

I determined on Saturday that the ashpit was 24" by looking at a picture of a man standing in it. Your photo, with the sticks confirmed that I was dead on, but I'd missed the distance from the wall to the rail by 6".

Who'd a thunk?

These are a really nice addition to the information we've seen previously. The NGDF comes through again.

Thanks again,

Mike Trent
