Great, that really helps and I think at this point we pretty much understand what you did. I've copied all of that and the pictures also, plus all of your other pictures.

I don't know if you have seen sailrite's kit they sell that uses a length of PVC.....

....pipe in each side. Do you see any benefit in that? We are thinking of going that way.

We hope to start on this in the next few days.

Ruth says thanks also,
