Hi Shawn,
Just when you get to crusing sometimes is how "they" get you !!! I am full of "ideas" and never know which one is going to end up biting me in the butt if I "go for it". Glad you got hungry for a snack. Kinda reminds me of the time when i was helping a friend by making some concrete forms for some piers on a hillside foundation. I was thinking it was just a small job and screwed the ply together with 1 1/4" screws .... Anyway I was all "ready" to pour and had the laborer keep dumping in the concrete...... All I can say it was a good thing I was standing there with my screwgun and had some 3" screws because those forms no sooner got just about filled to the top when the sides started ... You guessed it .... To split apart right before my eyes (1 1/4" screws through 1/2" ply didn't give much bite under all the pressure!!! If I had not been there to screw it back togehter Literally as the concrete was splitting the forms apart ... I can't even think of that concrete as a flowing MESS all over that hillside not to mention my Err.... "reputation" ha, ha. Good Save !!
Joe
