Bret,
You have a very good point there, anything is possible.
I'll post a thorough update on the 19 when we get her out. Last night with only about three more rows of brick to lay our sawblade expired and work came to an abrupt end.So Jerry is getting a new blade as we speak, as well as more mortar. When he gets back we have about a dozen or two more brick to cut tapers in. Then we will have to let things cure for a day or two and then she will be ready to go. Her dome lid got tightened, lagging was reapplied, the dome cover went on, and the pops,(including the new one) were reinstalled. Jerry and I will drag her to the pit tomorrow and hook up her brake linkages. All in all, everything is coming together and she should be ready to go in a couple days. Hopefully the paperwork comes through soon...
