got it, i thought he was gonna be here early, but he wasnt around here till after i got home, i fixed the work our friends from mexico and vermont did last nite, i pressure tested it(i know you said you didnt want it, but i wanted to see) only 3 small leaks pinhole sized, could be made airtite very easy,scuffed it preped it and 1 coat of primer, will coat again tommorow, im away till monday, but will start top coats then. it came out decent, final will look good, after getting it away from todds hand held chop saw and torches,using a die grinder was a little easier.
