Doug... May I suggest finding a girlfriend while your building the tear, to help you with the build... You can always dump her when the tear is finnished.......

John....having gone that route...I find it is a lot easier in the long run to do it on my own...tightening a carriage bolt on my own causes a lot less complaining and nagging than with an "assistant"....just my experience. :lol: :lol: but I do honestly appreciate your suggestion, besides...she didn't like what I had on the TV in the shop, strictly a "NON OPRAH" environment...Doug
