: The bottom pipe is a piece of 3/4 inch schedule 40 PVC plumbing pipe

Paul,

Didn't see the pic, but did catch that you're using PVC "plumbing pipe". My highly scientific, extensive and controlled experiments into the field have suggested to me that the electrical conduit PVC was more durable. What I did was wack regular white plumbing PVC schedule 40 pipe with a hammer, and then did the same with the grey conduit PVC. Seemed the grey stuff was sturdier.

What's your experience with white vs. grey?

Wayne
