    Quite a few years ago, I used to do a lot of work on the remote islands off shore. In these places, a trip to the hardware store or supply house involved an hour or more boat ride and then a drive. We saw some so crazy MacGyver stuff out there. But the only thing about it, was that it all worked. Ugly as hell, but it worked.

    Yes sir. Talking to the owner to day.After he gets out of the code enforcement office. So far we both agree that it will be cheaper to just start over. Instead of wasting time trying to polish a turd lol

    Single pipe, no surprise there. I like the duct tape used instead of wire staples/clamps and yes the mcdonald's cup is pretty great too.
